PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Islam and Biomedical Research Ethics (Biomedical Law and Ethics Library)

This book is a contribution to the nascent discourse on global health and biomedical research ethics involving Muslim populations and Islamic contexts It presents a rich sociological account about the ways in which debates and questions involving Islam within the biomedical research context are negotiated a perspective which is currently lacking within the broader bioethics literature The book tackles some key understudied areas including role of faith in moral deliberations within biomedical research ethics the moral anxiety and frustration experienced by researchers when having to negotiate multiple moral sources and how the marginalisation of women the prejudice and abuse faced by groups such as sex workers and those from the LGBT community are encountered and negotiated in such contexts The volume provides a valuable resource for researchers and scholars in this area by providing a systematic review of ethical guidelines and a rich casebased account of the ethical issues emerging in biomedical research in contexts where Islam and the religious moral commitments of Muslims are pertinentThe book will be essential for those conducting research in low and middle income countries that have significant Muslim populations and for those in Muslimminority settings It will also appeal to researchers and scholars in religious studies social sciences philosophy anthropology and theology as well as the fields of biomedical ethics Islamic ethics and global health.

The University of Connecticut is a community of scholars and researchers committed to integrity, freedom of inquiry and intellectual pursuit, respect for individuals and the rights of others, and tolerance for both individual differences and differing points of view (Graduate Catalog).. Biomedical ethics is a burgeoning academic field with complex and far-reaching consequences. Whereas in Western secular bioethics this subject falls within larger ethical theories and applications (utilitarianism, deontology, teleology, and the like), Islamic biomedical ethics has yet to findits natural academic home in Islamic studies.In this pioneering work, Abdulaziz Sachedina - a scholar with life-long academic training in Islamic law - relates classic Muslim religious values to the new ethical challenges that arise from medical research and practice. He depends on Muslim legal theory, but then looks deeper than juridicalpractice to search for the underlying reasons that determine the rightness or wrongness of a particular action. Drawing on the work of diverse Muslim theologians, he outlines a form of moral reasoning that can derive and produce decisions that underscore the spirit of the Shari\'a. These decisions, he argues, still leave room to revisit earlier decisions and formulate new ones, which in turn need not be understood as absolute or final. After laying out this methodology, he applies it to a series of ethical questions surrounding the human life-cycle from birth to death, including such issues asabortion, euthanasia, and organ donation.The implications of Sachedina\'s work are broad. His writing is unique in that it aims at conversing with Jewish and Christian ethics, moving beyond the Islamic fatwa literature to search for a common language of moral justification and legitimization among the followers of the Abrahamic traditions.He argues that Islamic theological ethics be organically connected with the legal tradition of Islam to enable it to sit in dialogue with secular and scripture-based bioethics in other faith communities. A breakthrough in Islamic bioethical studies, this volume is welcome and long-overdue readingfor anyone interested in facing the difficult questions posed by modern medicine not only to the Muslim faithful but to the ethically-minded at large. This textbook for instruction in biomedical research ethics can also serve as a valuable reference for professionals in the field of bioethics. The 149 cases included in the book are grouped in nine chapters, each of which covers a key area of debate in the field. Some of the case studies are classics, including the famous cases of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study (in which subjects with syphilis were not given treatment) and the Willowbrook hepatitis studies (in which institutionalized subjects were intentionally exposed to hepatitis). Others focus on such current issues as human embryonic stem cell research, cloning by somatic nuclear transfer, and the design and function of institutional review boards. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction that places the issues raised in context this is followed by a number of cases (each of which is no more than a few pages). Study questions meant to encourage further discussion follow each case. After an introductory discussion of the history and tenets of ethics in medical research, the book\'s chapters cover the topics of oversight and study design informed consent the selection of subjects conflicts of interest the social effects of research embryos, fetuses, and children genetic research the use of animals and authorship and publication. Following these chapters are appendixes with the texts of the Nuremburg Code and the World Declaration of Geneva, two key documents in the establishment of bioethical standards for research. Also included are a glossary, a table of cases by general category, and an alphabetical listing of cases. Biomedical ethics is a burgeoning academic field with complex and far-reaching consequences.

Mary Anne Warren investigates a theoretical question that is at the center of practical and professional ethics: what are the criteria for having moral status? That is, what does it take to be an entity towards which people have moral considerations? Warren argues that no single property willdo as a sole criterion, and puts forward seven basic principles as criteria. She then applies these principles to three controversial moral issues: voluntary euthanasia, abortion, and the moral status of animals. This best-selling anthology of readings with case studies provides insightful and comprehensive treatment of ethical issues in medicine. Appropriate for courses taught in philosophy departments, bioethics programs, as well as schools of medicine and nursing, the collection covers such provocative topics as biomedical enhancement, clinical trials in developing countries, animal research, physician-assisted suicide, and health care reform. The text\'s effective pedagogical features include chapter introductions, argument sketches, explanations of medical terms, headnotes, and annotated bibliographies. Building on the best-selling tradition of previous editions, Principles of Biomedical Ethics, Sixth Edition, provides a highly original, practical, and insightful guide to morality in the health professions. Acclaimed authors Tom L. Beauchamp and James F. Childress thoroughly develop and advocate for four principles that lie at the core of moral reasoning in health care: respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice. Drawing from contemporary research--and integrating detailed case studies and vivid real-life examples and scenarios--they demonstrate how these prima facie principles can be expanded to apply to various conflicts and dilemmas, from how to deliver bad news to whether or not to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatments. Illuminating both theory and method throughout, Principles of Biomedical Ethics, Sixth Edition, considers what constitutes moral character and addresses the problem of moral status: what rights are due to people and animals, and when. It also examines the professional-patient relationship, surveys major philosophical theories--including utilitarianism, Kantianism, rights theory, and Communitarianism--and describes methods of moral justification in bioethics. Ideal for courses in biomedical ethics, bioethics, and health care ethics, the text is enhanced by hundreds of annotated citations and a substantial introduction that clarifies key terms and concepts.Features of the Sixth Edition: * Integrates case studies throughout the text, rather than presenting them in an appendix as in previous editions* A new chapter on moral status (Chapter 3)* Extensively revised and expanded material on the theory of the common morality (Chapters 1 and 10)* A reworked discussion of the ethics of care as a form of virtue ethics (Chapter 2)* Revised and updated treatments of nonmaleficence and beneficence, which take into account recent legal and philosophical literature and discussions (Chapters 5 and 6)* A new section on vulnerability and exploitation as it applies to justice (Chapter 7)* A more concise treatment of the principles of biomedical ethics throughout the text, featuring developed, refined, and modified perspectives library.vanderbilt.edu/biomedical.
