PDF-(READ)-Theological Bioethics: Participation, Justice, and Change (Moral Traditions)

As bioethics has evolved those traditions whose thinkers had dominated the field in the last 1960s and early 1970sprogressive Catholics and Protestants and Jewshave struggled to be heard and in some cases have been pushed to the edge of irrelevance A seemingly neutral political liberalism with its commitment to the free market and scientific progress has pervaded the public sphere creating a deep suspicion of those bringing religious values to bear on questions of public policy Cahill wants to change that As a theological ethicist and progressive Catholic she does not want to cede a religious perspective to evangelical Christians and the prolife movement nor does she want to submit to the gospel of political liberalism that pushes individual autonomy as holy writ To this end she advocates a participatory bioethics that is a call for progressive religious folk to reclaim the best of their traditions and engage political forces at the community and national level Whats the payoff Cahill is clear justice in access to health care must be the number one priority But there is more A participatory bioethics must go beyond decrying injustice beyond a prophetic stance against commercialization beyond painting a vision of a more egalitarian future Participatory bioethics must also account for and take part in a global social network of mobilization for change Participatory bioethics must seek out those in solidarity those in common calling who are working to create a more just social and political and economic system This is a mature sophisticated and highly ambitious work that could change the fields of bioethics and theological ethics.

The World Medical Association calls on physicians to respect human dignity and to discharge their duties with dignity. And yet human dignity is a term--like love, hope, and justice--that is intuitively grasped but never clearly defined. Some ethicists and bioethicists dismiss it other thinkers point to its use in the service of particular ideologies. In this book, Michael Barilan offers an urgently needed, nonideological, and thorough conceptual clarification of human dignity and human rights, relating these ideas to current issues in ethics, law, and bioethics. Combining social history, history of ideas, moral theology, applied ethics, and political theory, Barilan tells the story of human dignity as a background moral ethos to human rights. After setting the problem in its scholarly context, he offers a hermeneutics of the formative texts on Imago Dei provides a philosophical explication of the value of human dignity and of vulnerability presents a comprehensive theory of human rights from a natural, humanist perspective explores issues of moral status and examines the value of responsibility as a link between virtue ethics and human dignity and rights. Barilan accompanies his theoretical claim with numerous practical illustrations, linking his theory to such issues in bioethics as end-of-life care, cloning, abortion, torture, treatment of the mentally incapacitated, the right to health care, the human organ market, disability and notions of difference, and privacy, highlighting many relevant legal aspects in constitutional and humanitarian law. 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. Adam McGuire, PhD. Postdoctoral . Fellow.
