PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-What It Means to Be Human: The Case for the Body in Public Bioethics

One of the Wall Street Journals Top Ten Books of the YearA leading expert on public bioethics advocates for a new conception of human identity in American law and policyThe natural limits of the human body make us vulnerable and therefore dependent throughout our lives on others Yet American law and policy disregard these stubborn facts with statutes and judicial decisions that presume people to be autonomous defined by their capacity to choose As legal scholar O Carter Snead points out this individualistic ideology captures important truths about human freedom but it also means that we have no obligations to each other unless we actively voluntarily embrace them Under such circumstances the neediest must rely on charitable care When it is not forthcoming law and policy cannot adequately respondWhat It Means to Be Human makes the case for a new paradigm one that better represents the gifts and challenges of being human Inspired by the insights of Alasdair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor Snead proposes a vision of human identity and flourishing that supports those who are profoundly vulnerable and dependentchildren the disabled and the elderly To show how such a vision would affect law and policy he addresses three complex issues in bioethics abortion assisted reproductive technology and endoflife decisions Avoiding typical dichotomies of conservativeversusliberal and secularversusreligious Snead recasts debates over these issues and situates them within his framework of embodiment and dependence He concludes that if the law is built on premises that reflect the fully lived reality of life it will provide support for the vulnerable including the unborn mothers families and those nearing the end of their lives In this way he argues policy can ensure that people have the care they need in order to thriveIn this provocative and consequential book Snead rethinks how the law represents human experiences so that it might govern more wisely justly and humanely.

Modern scientific and medical advances bring new complexity and urgency to ethical issues in health care and biomedical research. This book applies the American philosophical theory of pragmatism to such bioethics. Critics of pragmatism argue that it lacks a universal moral foundation. Yet it is this very lack of a metaphysical dividing line between facts and values that makes pragmatism such a rigorous and appropriate method for solving problems in bioethics. For pragmatism, ethics is a way of satisfying the complex demands of multiple individuals and groups in a contingent and changing world. Pragmatism also demands careful attention to the ways in which scientific advances change our values and ethics. The essays in this book present different approaches to pragmatism and different ways of applying pragmatism to scientific and medical matters. They use pragmatism to guide thinking about such timely topics as stem cell research, human cloning, genetic testing, human enhancement, and care for the poor and aging. This new edition contains three new chapters, on difficulties with applying pragmatism to law and bioethics, on helping people to die, and on embryonic stem cell research. In recent years, bioethicists have worked on government commissions, on ethics committees in hospitals and nursing homes, and as bedside consultants. Because ethical knowledge is based on experience within the field rather than on universal theoretical propositions, it is open to criticism for its lack of theoretical foundation. Once in the clinic, however, ethicists noted the extent to which medical practice itself combined the certitudes of science with craft forms of knowledge. In an effort to forge a middle path between pure science and applied medical and ethical knowledge, bioethicists turned to the work of classical philosophy, especially the theme of a practical wisdom that entails a variable knowledge of particulars. In this book contemporary bioethicists and scholars of ancient philosophy explore the import of classical ethics on such pressing bioethical concerns as managed care, euthanasia, suicide, and abortion. Although the contributors write within the limits of their own disciplines, through cross references and counterarguments they engage in fruitful dialogue. NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT--OVERSTOCK SALE -- Significantly reduced list price while supplies lastContains a collection of essays exploring human dignity and bioethics, a concept crucial to today\'s discourse in law and ethics in general and in bioethics in particular. This publication gives some examples of how human dignity can be a difficult concept to apply in bioethical controversies, explores some of the complex roots of the modern notion of human dignity, in order to shed light on why its application to bioethics is so problematic, and suggests, tentatively, that a certain conception of human dignity—dignity understood as humanity— has an important role to play in bioethics, both now and especially in the future.
