Book Belmont Revisited

Download or read book Belmont Revisited written by James F. Childress and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on human subjects has always been a highly controversial topic in the field of bioethics. The book, featuring contributions from a Who's Who of biothics scholars, analyzes the seminal document on the topic in the United States: the 1979 Belmont Report, widely regarded as the single-most influential set of guidelines in the practice of bioethics.The Belmont Report is a 20-page statement that spells out the rationale for ethical research on humans, concluding that three primary principles are at play: respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Since the publication of Belmont these three principles, spelled out further by philosopher Tom Beauchamp and ethicist James Childress and known as the "Georgetown mantra," have dominated all discussions of research on human subjects--though, as this book will show, not everyone agrees that this is the most helpful way to think about the matter. In fact, this book is both a broad overview of the evolution of the Belmont Report and, more important, 1) an assessment of its shortcomings and 2) a strong call to rethink how hospitals and pharmaceutical companies can conduct research more humanely and more ethically. So while the book looks back to the creation of Belmont, it also looks forward to the future of research. Contributors, in addition to the editors, include Alexander Capron, Ruth Faden, Eric Cassell, Karen Lebacqz, Larry Churchill, Robert Levine, Patricia King (Georgetown), Susan Sherwin, Ezekiel Emanuel, Robert Veach (Georgetown), Henry Richardson (Georgetown), John Evans.

Book Ethics Without Principles

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jonathan Dancy
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press on Demand
  • Release : 2004-06-10
  • ISBN : 0199270023
  • Pages : 240 pages

Download or read book Ethics Without Principles written by Jonathan Dancy and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2004-06-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Dancy presents a long-awaited exposition and defence of particularism in ethics, a view with which he has been associated for twenty years. He argues that the traditional link between morality and principles, or between being moral and having principles, is little more than a mistake. The possibility of moral thought and judgement does not in any way depend on an adequate supply of principles. Dancy grounds this claim on a form of reasons-holism, holding that what is a reason in one case need not be any reason in another, and maintaining that moral reasons are no different in this respect from others. He puts forward a distinctive form of value-holism to go with the holism of reasons, and he gives a detailed discussion, much needed, of the currently popular topic of 'contributory' reasons. Opposing positions of all sorts are summarized and criticized. Ethics Without Principles is the definitive statement of particularist ethical theory, and will be required reading for all those working on moral philosophy and ethical theory.

Book Principles of Animal Research Ethics

Download or read book Principles of Animal Research Ethics written by Tom L. Beauchamp and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first to present a framework of general principles for animal research ethics together with an analysis of the principles' meaning and moral requirements. This new framework of six moral principles constitutes a more suitable set of moral guidelines than any currently available, including the influential framework presented in the Principles of Humane Experimental Technique published in 1959 by zoologist and psychologist William M. S. Russell and microbiologist Rex L. Burch. While other accounts have presented specific directives to guide the use of animals in research, Tom L. Beauchamp and David DeGrazia here offer a set of general moral principles that are adequate to the task of evaluating biomedical and behavioral research involving animals today. Their comprehensive framework addresses ethical requirements pertaining to societal benefit-a critical consideration in justifying the harming of animals in research-and features a thorough program of animal welfare protection. In doing so, their principles bridge the gap between the concerns of the research community and the animal-protection community. The book is distinctive in featuring commentaries on the framework of principles by eminent figures in animal research ethics from an array of relevant disciplines: veterinary medicine, biomedical research, biology, zoology, comparative psychology, primatology, law, and bioethics. The seven commentators-Larry Carbone, Frans de Waal, Rebecca Dresser, Joseph Garner, Brian Hare, Margaret Landi, and Julian Savulescu-scrutinize Beauchamp and DeGrazia's principles in terms of both their theoretical cogency and practical implications, evaluating their relevance to the medical and scientific professions. The range of ethical issues encompassed in Principles of Animal Research Ethics will be useful to professionals in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and will also appeal to individuals and scholars interested in bioethics, animal ethics, and applied ethics generally.

Book Principles of Ethical Economy

Download or read book Principles of Ethical Economy written by P. Koslowski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Maynard Keynes wrote to his grandchildren more than fifty years ago about their economic possibilities, and thus about our own: "I see us free, there fore, to return to some of the most sure and certain principles of religion and traditional virtue - that avarice is a vice, that the exaction of usury is a misde meanour. . . . We shall once more value ends above means and prefer the good to the useful" ("Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren," pp. 371-72). In the year 1930 Keynes regarded these prospects as realizable only after a time span ofone hundred years, ofwhich we have now achieved more than half. The pres ent book does not share Keynes's view that the possibility of an integration of ethics and economics is dependent exclusively on the state of economic devel opment, though this integration is certainly made easier by an advantageous total economic situation. The conditions of an economy that is becoming post of ethics, cultural industrial and post-modern are favorable for the unification theory, and economics. Economic development makes a new establishment of economic ethics and a theory ofethical economy necessary. Herdecke and Hanover, October 1987 P. K. TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword v Introduction . 0. 1.

Book Ethical Principles and Economic Transformation   A Buddhist Approach

Download or read book Ethical Principles and Economic Transformation A Buddhist Approach written by Laszlo Zsolnai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhism points out that emphasizing individuality and promoting the greatest fulfillment of the desires of the individual conjointly lead to destruction. The book promotes the basic value-choices of Buddhism, namely happiness, peace and permanence. Happiness research convincingly shows that not material wealth but the richness of personal relationships determines happiness. Not things, but people make people happy. Western economics tries to provide people with happiness by supplying enormous quantities of things and today’s dominating business models are based on and cultivates narrow self-centeredness.But what people need are caring relationships and generosity. Buddhist economics makes these values accessible by direct provision. Peace can be achieved in nonviolent ways. Wanting less can substantially contribute to this endeavor and make it happen more easily. Permanence, or ecological sustainability, requires a drastic cutback in the present level of consumption and production globally. This reduction should not be an inconvenient exercise of self-sacrifice. In the noble ethos of reducing suffering it can be a positive development path for humanity.
