Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage, composé par un professeur de Philosophie enseignant l'éthique médicale en Faculté de Médecine, s'adresse aux étudiants de médecine de première année et s'inscrit dans la collection " Sciences Humaines en Médecine ". Il a pour but de donner les outils conceptuels nécessaires pour identifier les valeurs et les conflits de valeurs en jeu dans les situations médicales de soin, de recherche biomédicale ou de santé publique. Une interrogation philosophique sur l'origine, le fondement et les justifications de nos jugements moraux, étayée par de nombreux exemples médicaux, succinctement exposés, permet un premier exercice de la réflexion morale. Cet ouvrage propose également trois annexes sur des sujets d'éthique transversaux, des textes philosophiques, des exercices (QCM et QROC), et, enfin, une bibliographie détaillée, afin d'approfondir et d'enrichir la réflexion personnelle. Souhaitons que cet ouvrage aide à préserver et à développer la dimension éthique de la médecine dans son approche de l'homme, alors que les nouvelles techniques et les nouveaux savoirs, les pressions de la recherche scientifique, les sollicitations du marché, la dimension sociale et politique des systèmes de santé nationaux, et, enfin, les demandes nouvelles de la société à l'égard de la médecine, mettent souvent les médecins face à des situations moralement confuses et difficiles, sur fond de maladie, de souffrance, voire de mort. L'enjeu d'une telle réflexion est peut-être la possibilité d'une vie bonne, au sens où l'entendait la sagesse antique, pour les médecins et les patients, en accord les uns avec les autres et avec eux-mêmes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les fondements thiques de la biothique La biothique est une discipline trs jeune qui n'a pas encore trouv de bases solides. Elle est ne au moment o des nouveaux problmes, jusque-l inconnus, sont apparus en sciences biomdicales. Les proccupations de lthique mdicale taient totalement tournes vers le mdecin en valuant ce quil devait faire et ce quil ne devait pas faire face un(e) malade. La nouvelle donne est que le malade a galement quelque chose dire, surtout sil sagit de sa maladie. Lintrt de ce livre est de montrer justement que la biothique a tout intrt reposer sur des bases philosophiques thiques. La biothique ne se prsente pas comme une panace. Cest une sorte de starting-block pour mieux cerner les questions thiques que nous rencontrons spcialement dans les soins de sant, lenvironnement et les sciences mdicales. Partir dune base philosophique, cest rendre clairs des concepts fondamentaux que lon utilise. Trois concepts que lon utilise frquemment en biothique sont analyss ici : la loi naturelle, la justice et la conscience. Mais la philosophie se proccupe galement de donner des explications sur nos croyances et sur la nature de la ralit, de lunivers. Il ne sagit pas uniquement de nous comprendre nous-mmes et de comprendre ce qui nous entoure, mais il est galement question de comprendre chaque personne raisonnable dans ses relations avec les autres. Parmi les courants philosophiques qui sont analyss, il y a le principalisme, lthique thologique, les thories dontologiques, lutilitarisme, et lthique de la vertu. ----------------------------------- The ethical Basics of Bioethics Bioethics took shape at a time medical ethics was at a crossroad and could any longer meet new problems which were till then unknown. Medical ethics was chiefly concern with problems physicians ought to do in front of their patients. The new order concedes that the patient has to keep a wary eye on everything relating to his/her health. This book gains its significance in showing that bioethics rests on ethical philosophical foundations. Bioethics is not a cure-all. It is rather a philosophical starting point of reflections that leads to investigating ethical problems in health care, environment and in medical science. One of the main concerns of a philosopher is to scrutinize and clarify used basic concepts. Three mostly used ethical concepts are analyzed, i.e. natural law, justice, and conscience. The philosopher is also concerned with beliefs of man and the nature of the world. The question is not only to understand ourselves as human beings and the world around us, but to understand also each rational person in his/her relations to others. Among the current philosophical trends discussed here are principlism, theological ethics, deontological ethics (Kantianism), utilitarianism, and virtue ethics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’éthique a fait débat de tout temps, mais force est d’admettre qu’elle est, aujourd’hui, plus que jamais d’actualité. Bien qu’elle concerne tous les domaines de la société, elle reste particulièrement présente et essentielle dans la santé : la médecine donne naissance aux interrogations éthiques les plus délicates en rapport avec la vie, la souffrance et la mort. Depuis qu’Hippocrate en a établi les fondements, de nombreux livres, traités et encyclopédies se sont attachés à aborder le thème de l’éthique médicale au gré des découvertes qui ont jalonné l’évolution de la médecine. Cet ouvrage, fruit d’une pratique médicale de plus de 30 années passées au plus près des malades, a pour vocation d’exposer clairement, en 100 questions, les principaux problèmes éthiques qui peuvent se poser aux médecins dans leur pratique quotidienne. Il ne s’agit pas là d’évoquer la « morale » mais de mettre en évidence de façon factuelle les dilemmes que ces questions impliquent et de reconnaître que certains restent encore, pour le moment, sans solution. L’éthique médicale en questions passe en revue, au travers des grandes étapes de la vie, les problèmes d’éthique tels que la procréation médicalement assistée, la maltraitance de l’enfant, l’addiction, sans oublier la réanimation, les soins palliatifs et l’euthanasie. Ce livre s’adresse à tous les médecins, étudiants en médecine et acteurs de la santé souhaitant approfondir leur réflexion et mettre à jour leurs connaissances sur le sujet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annoncer une mauvaise nouvelle, décider d’un arrêt de traitement, tenter une opération risquée, réanimer un patient suicidaire... les dilemmes moraux ne sont pas rares en médecine. Les problèmes éthiques ont néanmoins revêtu une acuité particulière de nos jours du fait des progrès techniques, du coût des thérapeutiques innovantes, de l’évolution des moeurs, du vieillissement de la population. Cette nouvelle conjoncture conduit peu à peu à changer les façons d’exercer la médecine. Une culture du partage s’instaure avec les soignants, le monde associatif ou les sciences humaines et sociales. La philosophie morale se trouve également mise à contribution. Car pour être une démarche rigoureuse, l’éthique biomédicale ne doit pas se réduire à un échange d’opinions informelles et spontanées. Elle doit se nourrir de la connaissance des travaux des philosophes d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. À cette fin, le présent ouvrage propose aux professionnels de santé, ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui sont concernés par leurs décisions, de découvrir les grands principes et les principales théories de la philosophie morale. De l’éthique des vertus au contractualisme moral, en passant par le probabilisme, le déontologisme, l’utilitarisme, le libertarisme, l’éthique de la sollicitude ou l’éthique narrative, l’histoire de l’éthique est riche en ressources. Chaque théorie morale apporte un éclairage nouveau et fournit des repères, tant pour l’élucidation des problèmes d’éthique au quotidien que pour la compréhension des débats de société autour de la bioéthique.

Download or read book Les fondements de la bio thique written by Hugo Tristram Engelhardt and published by Belles Lettres. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « The foundations of bioethics » (1986) inscrit la bioéthique dans un cadre très large. L'auteur prend acte de l'impossibilité, dans les sociétés contemporaines, de parvenir à un consensus général en éthique : il n'existe pas d'accord sur une conception du monde universellement recevable, rationnelle et dotée de contenu concret. Dans les sociétés laïques et pluralistes, les valeurs et les normes des individus diffèrent, parfois du tout au tout. Sous la seule exigence de résoudre les désaccords de façon pacifique, Hugo Tristram Engelhardt, Jr. distingue deux principes, différents mais complémentaires, qui permettent de construire à nouveaux frais une bioéthique acceptable. Le principe d'autonomie met en avant la liberté, caractérisée non comme une valeur à promouvoir, mais comme une condition de possibilité de l'éthique. Formel et d'application universelle, il proscrit l'usage de la violence, privée ou étatique, à l'encontre des choix innocents, c'est-à-dire des choix qui ne causent pas de préjudice aux personnes. Le principe de bienfaisance, fondé sur la sympathie et l'intérêt pris à la traduire en acte, indique à quelles conditions on peut ou doit faire le bien d'autrui. Concret, il ne peut se réaliser effectivement que dans le cadre de communautés diverses, avant tout des communautés de croyants, où il prend des formes elles-mêmes diverses, éventuellement aberrantes aux yeux des membres des autres communautés. La bioéthique reconstruite sur ces fondements est parfois conforme au sens commun et à une certaine sagesse médicale traditionnelle, mais elle en diffère souvent de façon radicale, en particulier par l'accent mis sur l'autonomie des personnes, par opposition à la condition qui est celle des êtres humains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historians, classicists and psychiatrists who have come together to produce Mental Disorders in the Classical World aim to explain how the Greeks and their Roman successors conceptualized, diagnosed and treated mental disorders. The Greeks initiated the secular understanding of mental illness, and have left us a large body of penetrating and thought-provoking writing on the subject, ranging in time from Homer to the sixth century AD. With the conceptual basis of modern psychiatry once again under intense debate, we need to learn from other rational approaches even when they lack modern scientific underpinnings. Meanwhile this volume adds a rich chapter to the cultural and medical history of antiquity. The contributors include a high proportion of the best-regarded scholars in this field, together with papers by some of its rising stars.
Download or read book Medicine and Health Care in Early Christianity written by Gary B. Ferngren and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2016-08 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on New Testament studies and recent scholarship on the expansion of the Christian church, Gary B. Ferngren presents a comprehensive historical account of medicine and medical philanthropy in the first five centuries of the Christian era. Ferngren first describes how early Christians understood disease. He examines the relationship of early Christian medicine to the natural and supernatural modes of healing found in the Bible. Despite biblical accounts of demonic possession and miraculous healing, Ferngren argues that early Christians generally accepted naturalistic assumptions about disease and cared for the sick with medical knowledge gleaned from the Greeks and Romans. Ferngren also explores the origins of medical philanthropy in the early Christian church. Rather than viewing illness as punishment for sins, early Christians believed that the sick deserved both medical assistance and compassion. Even as they were being persecuted, Christians cared for the sick within and outside of their community. Their long experience in medical charity led to the creation of the first hospitals, a singular Christian contribution to health care. "A succinct, thoughtful, well-written, and carefully argued assessment of Christian involvement with medical matters in the first five centuries of the common era . . . It is to Ferngren's credit that he has opened questions and explored them so astutely. This fine work looks forward as well as backward; it invites fuller reflection of the many senses in which medicine and religion intersect and merits wide readership."—Journal of the American Medical Association "In this superb work of historical and conceptual scholarship, Ferngren unfolds for the reader a cultural milieu of healing practices during the early centuries of Christianity."—Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith "Readable and widely researched . . . an important book for mission studies and American Catholic movements, the book posits the question of what can take its place in today's challenging religious culture."—Missiology: An International Review Gary B. Ferngren is a professor of history at Oregon State University and a professor of the history of medicine at First Moscow State Medical University. He is the author of Medicine and Religion: A Historical Introduction and the editor of Science and Religion: A Historical Introduction.

Download or read book Bioethics Around the Globe written by Catherine Myser and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary bioethics, now roughly 40 years old as a discipline, originated in the United States with a primarily Anglo-American cultural ethos. It continues to be professionalized and institutionalized as a maturing discipline at the intersections of philosophy, medicine, law, social sciences, and humanities. Increasingly bioethics - along with its foundational values, concepts and principals - has been exported to other countries, not only in the developed West, but also in developing and/or Eastern countries. Bioethics thus continues to undergo intriguing transformations as it is globalized and adapted to local cultures. These processes have occurred rapidly in the last two decades, with relatively little reflection and examination. This volume brings together contributors from a wide variety of disciplines to take a critical, empirical look at bioethics around the globe, examining how it is being transformed - at both local and global levels - in this process of cross-cultural exporting and importing. One concern is to identify sociocultural forces and consequences which may positively or negatively affect ethics and social justice goals. This book thereby offers the first comparative anthropology and sociology of globalizing bioethics in the field, exploring the global dissemination, local adaptations, cultural meanings and social functions of bioethics theories, practices and institutions and comparing developed and developing countries. The volume considers a full range of countries on every inhabited continent, including: Africa, Asia, Australia, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. Topics include government agendas such as nationalism and nation building; agendas of powerful, associated professions (e.g., medicine, law); theological and political agendas such as 'culture wars'; agendas of entrepreneurial economies of profit; and other cultural and ideological agendas consciously or unconsciously advanced or contested by bioethics work in particular countries based on their unique history, politics and culture. This cross-cultural exploration of globalizing bioethics will be of great interest to a field that is increasingly introspective about its underlying sociocultural assumptions and biases. "At last-an unabashedly sociological and anthropological look at the globalization of bioethics, a really fresh approach to a maturing discipline. The chapters speak from the perspective of sophisticated Western-developed exporters of the bioethical paradigm [and equally sophisticated] Eastern-developing and third-world and interdisciplinary critics suspicious of the canonical view. Trained in the dominant school of American, mainstream philosophy, Myser draws on her long-standing commitment to a social and cultural approach to bioethics to take a fresh look at bioethics globally. She grasps the globalization of bioethics and the skepticism about analytical philosophy's Americanized consensus. The book sets the stage for a new era in bioethics theory and practice {debating] whether a universal common morality underlies the rich variation in national and cultural bioethics traditions." - Robert Veatch, Georgetown University "This path-breaking volume is the first to explore the global export of Western bioethics to a variety of non-Western settings. Explicitly critical, the book also points to the liberating potential of bioethics to achieve social justice and improve the lives of patients around the world. The book is a must-read for all medical anthropologists interested in bioethics." - Marcia Inhorn, Yale University "Bioethics Around the Globe should change the way bioethics is conceived and practiced in the U.S. and elsewhere. Its rich and wide-ranging comparative examination opens new possibilities for bioethical reflection. I enthusiastically recommend this wonderful book." - James F. Childress, University of Virginia "The past 40 years have seen a remarkable spread of bioethics to every part of the world. Dr. Myser's collection is a wonderful and rich exploration of its international impact, revealing important similarities and differences from country to country. It will have an important impact." - Daniel Callahan, The Hastings Center
Download or read book Dignity and Destiny written by John F. Kilner and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-08 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Misunderstandings about what it means for humans to be created in God's image have wreaked devastation throughout history -- for example, slavery in the U. S., genocide in Nazi Germany, and the demeaning of women everywhere. In Dignity and Destiny John Kilner explores what the Bible itself teaches about humanity being in God's image. He discusses in detail all of the biblical references to the image of God, interacts extensively with other work on the topic, and documents how misunderstandings of it have been so problematic. People made according to God's image, Kilner says, have a special connection with God and are intended to be a meaningful reflection of him. Because of sin, they don't actually reflect him very well, but Kilner shows why the popular idea that sin has damaged the image of God is mistaken. He also clarifies the biblical difference between being God's image (which Christ is) and being in God's image (which humans are). He explains how humanity's creation and renewal in God's image are central, respectively, to human dignity and destiny. Locating Christ at the center of what God's image means, Kilner charts a constructive way forward and reflects on the tremendously liberating impact that a sound understanding of the image of God can have in the world today.
Download or read book Male Sterility and Motility Disorders written by Samir Hamamah and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This conference, dedicated to the etiology and treatment of motility disor ders in spermatozoa and male sterility, attracted some of the finest investiga tors in the field. Standards were immensely high throughout, and discussions were meaningful and detailed. Analyses on disorders in sperm motility de mand a broad-based approach, involving cytologists, geneticists, andrologists, and embryologists, because the topic has many clinical and scientific over tones. Human spermatozoa are at the mercy of so many factors as they form and mature in the testis and epididymis. Their survival and fundamental char acteristics are essential for fertilization, and the male genome imposes its influence on the embryo as it becomes active in male pronuclei very soon after sperm entry into the oocyte. All of these fundamental aspects of sperm biology demanded a broad breadth of topics in the symposium. The opening session quickly got down to fundamentals with contributions from J.-L. Gatti, J.G. Alvarez, C. Gagnon, and H. Breitbart. They discussed the mechanism and regulation of motility, the metabolic strategy of human spermatozoa, the effects of exogenous fac tors such as antibodies, infections, and toxins, and finally the role of intracel lular calcium on sperm motility. To these topics, the postcoffee session on the first morning described the genetics of motility disorders and the etiology and management of necrozoospermia. The excellent presentation provided the background detail of the symposium and opened the way for the discus sion of various clinical aspects of the topic.

Download or read book Medical Information Systems Ethics written by Jérôme Béranger and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exponential digitization of medical data has led to a transformation of the practice of medicine. This change notably raises a new complexity of issues surrounding health IT. The proper use of these communication tools, such as telemedicine, e-health, m-health the big medical data, should improve the quality of monitoring and care of patients for an information system to "human face". Faced with these challenges, the author analyses in an ethical angle the patient-physician relationship, sharing, transmission and storage of medical information, setting pins to an ethic for the digitization of medical information. Drawing on good practice recommendations closely associated with values, this model is developing tools for reflection and present the keys to understanding the decision-making issues that reflect both the technological constraints and the complex nature of human reality in medicine .
