Henk Ten Have

Global Bioethics (eBook, PDF)

An introduction

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that global bioethics is a necessity because the social, economic and environmental effects of globalization require critical responses. Global bioethics is not a finished product that can simply be applied to solve global problems, but it is the ongoing result of interaction and exchange between local practices and global discourse. It combines recognition of differences and respect for cultural diversity with convergence towards common perspectives and shared values. The book examines the nature of global problems as well as the type of responses that are needed, in order to exemplify the substance of global bioethics. It discusses the ethical frameworks that are available for global discourse and shows how these are transformed into global governance mechanisms and practices.

Rezensionen

"Global bioethics is eloquent in its critique of the moral myopia of main stream bioethics and is a must for any reader seriously concerned with the role bioethics should play in the face of globalization."-Jan Helge Solbakk, University of Oslo, Norway

"Unlike other authors of the Northern hemisphere, the meaning of bioethics for Henk ten Have goes beyond the biomedical field. The inclusion in the framework proposed by the author of topics related to health care, social inclusion and preservation of the environment provides a new historical mark that puts this book in the pleasant academic surprises of this early 21st century." -Volnei Garrafa, University of Brasília, Brazil

"A comprehensive and penetrating account of how Bioethics could be extended to become Global Bioethics through an ambitious and visionary ethical and multi-disciplinary discourse. Addressing biological, social, political and ecological determinants of health from bio-centric and eco-centric perspectives is offered as a new bridge towards sustainable improvement in the health of people and our planet."-Solomon Benatar, University of Cape Town, South Africa; University of Toronto, Canada
