PDF-(BOOK)-Autonomy and the Situated Self: A Challenge to Bioethics

Bioethics tells a heroic story about its origins and purpose The impetus for its contemporary development can be traced to concern about widespread paternalism in medicine mistreatment of research subjects used in medical experimentation and questions about the implication of technological developments in medical practice Bioethics then began as a defender of the interests of patients and the rights of research participants and understood itself to play an important role as a critic of powerful interests in medicine and medical practice Autonomy and the Situated Self argues that as bioethics has become successful it no longer clearly lives up to these founding ideals and it offers a critique of the way in which contemporary bioethics has been coopted by the very institutions it once sought with good reason to criticize and transform In the process it has become mainstream moved from occupying the perspective of a critical outsider to enjoying the status of a respected insider whose primary role is to defend existing institutional arrangements and its own privileged position The mainstreaming of bioethics has resulted in its domestication it is at home in the institutions it would once have viewed with skepticism and a central part of practices it would once have challenged Contemporary bioethics is increasingly dominated by a conception of autonomy that detaches the value of choice from the value of the things chosen and the central role occupied by this conception makes it difficult for the bioethicist to make ethical judgments Consequently despite its very public successes contemporary bioethics is largely failing to offer the ethical guidance it purports to be able to provide In addition to providing a critique this book offers an alternative framework that is designed to allow bioethicists to address the concerns that led to the creation of bioethics in the first place This alternative framework is oriented around a conception of autonomy that works within the ethical guidelines provided by a contemporary form of virtue ethics and which connects the value of autonomous choice to a conception of human flourishing.

To what extent is it morally necessary to secure a patient’s consent for medical treatment?. Dr. Farhat Moazam has written a wonderful book, based on her extraordinary first-hand study.... [S]he is an exceptionally gifted and evocative writer. Her book not only has the attributes of a superb piece of intellectual work, but it has literary artistic merit. --Renee C. Fox, Annenberg Professor Emerita of the Social Sciences at the University of PennsylvaniaThis is an ethnographic study of live, related kidney donation in Pakistan, based on Farhat Moazam\'s participant-observer research conducted at a public hospital. Her narrative is both a thick description of renal transplant cases and the cultural, ethical, and family conflicts that accompany them, and an object lesson in comparative bioethics. Human dignity has been enshrined in international agreements and national constitutions as a fundamental human right. 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. 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.
