Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ethics of valuing bios in all their forms and shapes has been an essential part of great and successful cultures from the millennia-old Vedic tradition of 'tattvamasi'-this is also you: this plant, this animal, this microbe, this ecosystem-to the simple hands-on call of Jesus's 'love your neighbor.' But as a term bioethics was coined 90 years ago by Fritz Jahr, an educator and pastor in Halle in his Bioethical Imperative 'Respect every Living Being as an end in itself and treat it, if possible, as such.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1785, German philosopher Immanuel Kant introduced the 'categorical imperative' for human persons, based on the sanctity of the moral law. Over a century later, Fritz Jahr, a Protestant pastor and educator, expanded on Kant's imperative, offering an integrated view of living natural and social environments. Jahr coined the term 'Bio-Ethik' (Bioethics) and defined the 'bioethical imperative' (also based on the sanctity of life) as: "Respect every Living Being as an end in itself and treat it, if possible, as such!" In this book, 22 essays document the early European roots of modern bioethics and provide guidance for developing global cultures in integrated bioethics.

Download or read book Fritz Jahr 1895 1953 written by Christian Byk and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not only humans and other biological creatures, but also cultures and sciences, communities and corporations have a life of their own ; they develop and grow ; they are successful or fail ; they communicate and cooperate ; they may be in conflict or in harmony with each other. The term 'bio-ethics' was coined by Fritz Jahr (1895-1953), a Protestant pastor and educator in Halle an der Saale, in 1926 with the intention to call for a conceptual and practical broadening of moral obligations not just to fellow humans but towards all forms of life and symbiotic living-together. His Bioethical Imperative 'Respect every living being in general as an end in itself and treat it, if possible, as such !' did not find much recognition or support in the weltanschauung battles before and during the Nazi times in Germany. We all have learned that the 'birth of bioethics' occurred in 1976 in the United States of America as a 'bilocal birth' in Madison, Wisconsin, and in Washington, DC, associated with the names of Van Rensselar Potter, Andre Helleghers, and Sargent Shriver ; and some of us had been involved developing and distributing this model of 'bioethics' as being somewhat identical with medical ethics. It was only at the beginning of this century that Jahr in his integrative and integrating approach was rediscovered as the true “Father of Bioethics”.

Download or read book Harmonizing Bioethics written by Michael Cheng-tek Tai and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harmonizing Bioethics is about relationships of peoples and cultures, our civilizations and living environments. Following the original concept of bioethics by Fritz Jahr, we search for harmonizing discourses in the process of industrialization and globalization. Confucius 'compassion' and Jesus 'love your neighbor' are the global backbones of our actual and future deliberations. 'Do not hurt, be compassionate, be respectful, be responsible'. Issues such as caring for the poor, euthanasia, organ transplantation and physician-lay collaboration and teamwork are discussed in transcultural evaluation. A special aspect of urban bioethics and culture discusses also the influence of artificial intelligence. Building upon these pluriperspective grounds will direct us and the world in future collaboration as a bridge in global ways in integrating peoples and values advancing to a new age for all.

Families and friends cannot get together, visiting the sick, nor attending funerals.

Download or read book Van Rensselaer Potter and His Place in the History of Bioethics written by Amir Muzur and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Van Rensselaer Potter (1911-2001), the biochemist-oncologist of University of Wisconsin-Madison, was long been related to the invention of the term "bioethics". Even today, knowing that the German theologian Fritz Jahr (1895-1953) is to be credited for this invention, Potter's ideas do not lose on their importance, primarily for his opposition to a bioethics narrowed down onto biomedical issues. The book represents the first monograph on Potter's life and work worldwide, telling a fascinating story about a concerned top scientist and humanist.
Download or read book The Age of Informed Consent written by Octavian Buda and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyses the conceptualization and the practical application of the concept of informed consent in various parts of continental Europe, and identifies whether informed consent can be seen as a clearly identifiable concept. The focus here is on the evolution of informed consent in France, Germany, Croatia, Turkey and Romania, with comparisons being made to the “traditional” history of the concept, mainly constructed in the US and the UK. The book will appeal to physicians, bio-ethicists and historians, as it provides the answers to some practical difficulties in applying informed consent in everyday practice, difficulties mainly generated by an indiscriminate application of an imported concept, without a proper analysis of the local cultural, social, and medical background.
Download or read book Neuroethics Nootropics Neuroenhancement written by Rey Francis Hernandez and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book puts forward an ethical case against promoting neuroenhancement in modern society. It does so by invoking a normative platform that can be couched in three S'es: synapses, self, and society - themselves symbolizing the three main sources of influence in neuroethics. From this platform, it seeks to protect the individual's right to choose the good over what is purportedly better, thereby contributing a philosophical perspective not only to the neuroenhancement debate, but to the other debates in neuroethics as well. Rey Francis Hernandez is an associate professor of philosophy at Ateneo de Naga University and chief executive officer of EPECTO g. e. V.
Download or read book Global Bioethics written by Van Rensselaer Potter and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Van Rensselaer Potter created and defined the term "bioethics" in 1970, to describe a new philosophy that sought to integrate biology, ecology, medicine, and human values. Bioethics is often linked to environmental ethics and stands in sharp contrast to biomedical ethics. Because of this confusion (and appropriation of the term in medicine), Potter chose to use the term "Global Bioethics" in 1988. Potter's definition of bioethics from Global Bioethics is, "Biology combined with diverse humanistic knowledge forging a science that sets a system of medical and environmental priorities for acceptable survival."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in genetics and related biotechnologies are having a profound effect on sport, raising important ethical questions about the limits and possibilities of the human body.

Its ten chapters discuss current debates surrounding issues such as the shifting relationship between genetics, sports medicine and sports science, gene enhancement, gene transfer technology, doping and disability sport. The first book to be published on this important subject in more than a decade, this is fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in the ethics of sport, bioethics or sport performance.
Download or read book Cultures in Bioethics written by Hans-Martin Sass and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2016 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotopes and Bioethics are highly complex and adaptable systems of Bios. Individual bios is terminal, but the stream of Bios goes on. Basic properties of Bios such as communication and cooperation, competence and competition, contemplation and calculation, compassion and cultivation come in different shades of light and dark in individuals and species, in history and ecology. Hans-Martin Sass discusses the territories of Bios and Bioethics, based on his involvement in decades of consulting in academia, business and politics. Special attention is given to the vision and role of Bioethics in research and training, in religious and cultural traditions, and in the survival, happiness, and health of corporate, social and political bodies. Hans-Martin Sass is Senior Research Scholar Emeritus at Georgetown University, Washington DC, and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Ruhr University, Bochum.

Download or read book Border Situations Crises Postcritical Creativity written by Hermes A. Kick and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For none of the central survival problems of mankind, which include the increase of the world population, limited resources, transcultural communication problems and information overload, convincing solution concepts exist so far. The areas of tension mentioned are taken up in this volume and placed in the context of overstrain and rebellion of the individual and society. They are the impetus for philosophical thinking and for the conceptualization of the process-dynamic approach as a survival strategy that leads to practical philosophy. Overcoming the borderline situation shows "what man actually is and can become" (Karl Jaspers). Using numerous examples from the fields of psychotherapy, artistic and political action, this book shows that historical and phenomenological analysis needs to be complemented by a process-dynamic approach.
