Medicine Unbound: The Human Body and the Limits of Medical Intervention: Emerging Issues in Biomedical Policy Volume 3
Product Description
This volume focuses on issues involving the inviolability of the human body and the choice to end life. The contributors explore the difficulties in framing a broadcast policy that legalizes aid in dying, and return to the more general question of what is the most honest and effective relationship between private medical authority and broadcast policy. In Part 1, biologists, ethicists, theologians and political scientists examine the come forth of whether there ought to be limits to medical intervention. Although medicine has continually stretched the boundaries of intervention in the human body, new technologies of organ transplantation and genetics and the emergence of revolutionary drugs raise ethical concerns over how far we should go in tender from therapeutics to enhancement of the human body. Questions of inviolability also arise in situations where treatment of the foetus requires intrusion into the bodily integrity of the pregnant woman. The contributors debate what is meant by inviolability and where, if ever, it should be a matter of broadcast policy. Part 2 brings together authors from bioethics, medicine, psychology, journalism and politics to examine the going up debate over the empowerment of patients in making decisions to end life.
