Health care is ubiquitous in the industrialized world Yet every medical development technique and procedure impacts the environment Green bioethics synthesizes environmental ethics and biomedical ethics thus creating an interdisciplinary approach to sustainable health care Notably green bioethics addresses not the structure of environmental sustainability in healthcare institutions but the sustainability of individual healthcare offerings It parallels traditional biomedical ethics by providing four principles for ethical guidance distributive justice resource conservation simplicity and ethical economics Through these four principles green bioethics presents a coherent framework for evaluating the sustainability of medical developments techniques and procedures The future of our world may very well depend on how effectively we halt ecological destruction and conserve our resources in all areas of life The principles of green bioethics outlined in this book will advance sustainability in health care.

This volume initiates a much-needed conversation about the ethical and policy concerns facing health care providers in the rural United States. Although 21 percent of the population lives in rural areas, only 11 percent of physicians practice there. What challenges do health care workers face in remote locations? What are the differences between rural and urban health care practices? What particular ethical issues arise in treating residents of small communities? Craig M. Klugman and Pamela M. Dalinis gather philosophers, lawyers, physicians, nurses, and researchers to discuss these and other questions, offering a multidisciplinary overview of rural health care in the United States.Rural practitioners often practice within small, tight-knit communities, socializing with their patients outside the examination room. The residents are more likely to have limited finances and to lack health insurance. Physicians may have insufficient resources to treat their patients, who often have to travel great distances to see a doctor.The first part of the book analyzes the differences between rural and urban cultures and discusses the difficulties in treating patients in rural settings. The second part features the personal narratives of rural health care providers, who share their experiences and insights. The last part introduces unique ethical challenges facing rural health care providers and proposes innovative solutions to those problems.This volume is a useful resource for bioethicists, members of rural bioethics committees and networks, policy makers, teachers of health care providers, and rural practitioners themselves.

Catholic health care is one of the key places where the church lives Catholic social teaching (CST). Yet the individualistic methodology of Catholic bioethics inherited from the manualist tradition has yet to incorporate this critical component of the Catholic moral tradition. Informed by the places where Catholic health care intersects with the diverse societal injustices embodied in the patients it encounters, this book brings the lens of CST to bear on Catholic health care, illuminating a new spectrum of ethical issues and practical recommendations from social determinants of health, immigration, diversity and disparities, behavioral health, gender-questioning patients, and environmental and global health issues. Bioethics: Principles, Issues, and Cases, Third Edition, explores the philosophical, medical, social, and legal aspects of key bioethical issues. Opening with a thorough introduction to ethics, bioethics, and moral reasoning, it then covers influential moral theories and the criteria for evaluating them. Integrating eighty-nine readings--twelve of them new to this edition--numerous classic bioethical cases, and abundant pedagogical tools, this text addresses the most provocative and controversial topics in bioethics.PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES: Classic Case Files describe landmark cases that shaped the debate, while news-making Cases for Evaluation encourage students to form their own opinionsVarious text boxes: In Depth boxes contain additional material, illustrations, or analyses, much of it ripped from the headlines Fact File boxes provide statistics on the social, medical, and scientific facets of a chapter\'s topic and Legal Brief boxes summarize important court rulings and the status of major legislationKey Terms are boldfaced and boxed off within the text and then defined in a glossary at the back of the bookApplying Major Theories sections at the end of each chapter help students relate theories to the issues 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. 23 Global Bioethics Enquiry 201 9 ; 7 ( 1 ) Original Research Paper Impact of B ioethics E ducation on A ttitude and B eliefs regarding H omosexuality: A P ilot S tudy with M edical G raduat CHALLENGES.
