PDF-(BOOS)-Animal Ethics: A Contemporary Introduction (Routledge Contemporary Introductions

There are many introductions to the animal ethics literature There arent many introductions to the practice of doing animal ethics Bob Fischers Animal Ethics A Contemporary Introduction fills that gap offering an accessible model of how animal ethics can be done today The book takes up classic issues such as the ethics of eating meat and experimenting on animals but tackles them in an empirically informed and nuanced way It also covers a range of relatively neglected issues in animal ethics such as the possibility of insect sentience and the ethics of dealing with pests Finally the book doesnt assess every current practice using standard ethical theories but tries to evaluate some of them using the moral frameworks endorsed by those involved So for instance there is a chapter on the way that animal care and use committees try to justify some of the educational uses of animals and the chapter on zoos considers the way that international zoological societies justify compromising animal welfare The book wraps up with a discussion of the future of animal ethics Each chapter opens with a helpful initial overview of the chapter and ends with a list of suggested readings to help students go further on their own Key FeaturesCovers animal ethics from an empirically informed perspective bringing philosophy into conversation with key issues in animal science conservation biology economics ethology and legal studies among other fieldsProvides ample coverage of the most salient current topics including for exampleDebates about which animals are sentientThe suffering of wild animalsResearch ethicsThe boundaries of activismAvoids suggesting that animal ethics is simply the practice of applying the right general theory to a problem instead allowing readers to first work out the specific costs and benefits of making ethical decisionsImpresses upon the reader the need for her to work out for herself the best way forward with difficult ethical issues suggesting that progress can indeed be madeIncludes summaries and recommended readings at the end of each chapter.

The volume orients the reader in a changing landscape shaped by globalization, health disparities, and rapidly advancing technologies.? Bioethics has begun a turn toward a systematic concern with social justice, population health, and public policy.? While also covering more traditional topics, this volume fully captures this recent shift and foreshadows the resulting developments in bioethics.? It highlights emerging issues such as climate change, transgender, and medical tourism, and re-examines enduring topics, such as autonomy, end-of-life care, and resource allocation. No one argues the need for transplants. The debate centers on how to satisfy the great need for healthy organs. Advances in medical technology and science have made organ procurement, or the search and transfer of organs and tissue from one body to another, a very important issue. Since the demand for healthy organs far exceeds the supply, many questions enter this debate, blending medicine with politics, ethics, research, religion, and other concerns. How are we to meet the need? Can we do so and still respect personal ethics and religious convictions? Can organs be obtained without turning medical emergencies into free-market enterprise? Should people be permitted to sell their organs? Should animals be sacrificed to save the lives of humans? Could cloning be considered as a future source of organs?With more than thirty of the most important, influential, and up-to-date articles from leaders in ethics, medicine, philosophy, law, and politics, The Ethics of Organ Transplants examines the numerous and tangled issues that surround organ procurement and distribution.Co-edited by Dr. Arthur L. Caplan, a world recognized scholar in bioethics and health policy, this volume divides the issue into five related areas: (1) sources of organs for transplantation and various methods of transplants, including living donations, fetal tissue use, defining brain death, and nonhuman organ transfer (2) policy, including presumed consent, required requests, and mandated choice to relieve the shortage problem (3) the ethics of selling organs, the effect on supply and use of organs, making organ procurement a global effort (4) case histories and questions on who should (not) receive transplants and (5) the value In When Medicine Went Mad, one of the nation\'s leading bioethicists-and an extraordinary panel of experts and concentration camp survivors-examine problems first raised by Nazi medical experimentation that remain difficult and relevant even today. The importance of these issues to contemporary bioethical disputes-particularly in the thorny areas of medical genetics, human experimentation, and euthanasia-are explored in detail and with sensitivity. \"Learn how to think beyond the theoretical in any environment.
