Book 40 ans de bio  thique en France

Download or read book 40 ans de bio thique en France written by Jean-François Delfraissy and published by Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2023-02-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le Comité consultatif national d’éthique (CCNE) a quarante ans. Ce livre réunit des contributeurs venus d’horizons très variés, pour la plupart membres ou anciens membres du Comité. Son objectif est de constituer une sorte de retour d’expérience, mais aussi de caractériser l’« éthique à la française » que l’action du CCNE a contribué à élaborer. La mission du Comité, selon le décret du 23 février 1983, est de « donner son avis sur les problèmes moraux qui sont soulevés par la recherche dans les domaines de la biologie, de la médecine et de la sant頻, actualisée en 2021 : « donner des avis sur les problèmes éthiques et les questions de société soulevées par les progrès de la connaissance ». L’ouvrage présente un bilan des réflexions et de l’action du CCNE et revient sur la création et le fonctionnement du Comité, et sur la place qui est la sienne en France et dans le monde. Il examine les principes éthiques qui l’ont guidé et la manière dont ils ont évolué. Il analyse les questions éthiques liées au développement de la génétique et du numérique, l’articulation entre éthique et droit et l’influence de la réflexion éthique sur les évolutions législatives. Il intègre le dialogue qui s’établit au sein du Comité entre divers acteurs : religions, philosophie, sciences et courants de pensée présents dans la société. Il évoque enfin les perspectives et les enjeux nouveaux, souvent brûlants, qui se dessinent pour l’avenir, notamment dans le domaine de la procréation et dans celui des questions environnementales. Un livre fondamental sur 40 ans de bioéthique en France. Il concerne chacun d’entre nous. Jean-François Delfraissy est médecin, professeur d’immunologie, président du Conseil scientifique Covid-19 jusqu’à l’été 2022, président du CCNE. Emmanuel Didier est sociologue, directeur de recherches au CNRS, membre du Centre Maurice-Halbwachs (ENS-EHESS), membre du CCNE.

Book Human Germline Genome Modification and the Right to Science

Download or read book Human Germline Genome Modification and the Right to Science written by Andrea Boggio and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of the CRISPR/Cas9 class of genome editing tools is transforming not just science and medicine, but also law. When the genome of germline cells is modified, the modifications could be inherited, with far-reaching effects in time and scale. Legal systems are struggling with keeping up with the CRISPR revolution and both lawyers and scientists are often confused about existing regulations. This book contains an analysis of the national regulatory framework in eighteen selected countries. Written by national legal experts, it includes all major players in bioengineering, plus an analysis of the emerging international standards and a discussion of how international human rights standards should inform national and international regulatory frameworks. The authors propose a set of principles for the regulation of germline engineering, based on international human rights law, that can be the foundation for regulating heritable gene editing both at the level of countries as well as globally.

Le matin, l'Académie nationale de médecine avait rappelé son oeuvre médicale. JB (comme on l'appelait souvent) et les leucémies, la maladie de Hodgkin, les maladies hémorragiques, les greffes de moelle : chaque fois un de ses élèves reprend la description de ces maladies, de leurs traitements et de leurs aspects psychologiques depuis les publications de Jean Bernard. Sont aussi évoqués la vie professionnelle, l'internat en 1932, la résistance, le laboratoire de l'hôpital Saint-Louis, l'enseignement, le Centre Georges Hayem et son hôpital de jour, la création et le développement de la Fondation pour la recherche médicale, les voyages, à Marseille, au Maroc, en Grèce, en Belgique, en Angleterre, en Yougoslavie et le fidèle compagnon de ces voyages en avion, Paul Valéry, dont les textes ne le quittent pas.

Simone Veil clôture la matinée. Hélène Carrère d'Encausse préface l'ensemble. Dans les dernières pages figure la liste de tous les ouvrages et des douze cents articles publiés par Jean Bernard pour qu'elle puisse susciter de nouvelles études.

Download or read book Personhood and Health Care written by David C. Thomasma and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PERSONHOOD AND HEALTH CARE This book arose as a result of a pre-conference devoted to the topic held June 28, 1999 in Paris, France. The pre-conference preceded the Annual Congress of the International Academy ofLaw and Mental Health. Other chapters were solicited after the conference in order to more completely explore the relation of personhood to health care. The pre conference was held in honor of Yves Pelicier who led so many of our French colleagues in medicine, philosophy, and ethics as Christian Herve notes in his Tribute. As health care is aimed at healing persons, it is important to realize how difficult it is to construct a theory of personhood for health care, and thus, a theory of how healing in health care comes about or ought to occur. The book is divided into four parts, Concepts of the Person, Theories of Personhood in Relation to Health Care and Bioethics, Person and Identity, and Personhood and Hs Relations. Each section explores a critical arena in constructing the relation of personhood to health care. Although no exploration ofthis nature can be exhaustive, every effort was made to present both conflicting and complementary views of personhood from within similar and different philosophical and religious traditions. PART ONE: CONCEPTS OF THE PERSON Tracing the origins of the concept of person from antiquity through present day, Jean Delemeau provides an historical sketch of the development of a wide range of meanings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ever greater number of our contemporaries will reach a very much greater age than their ancestors. Longevity is one of the most fertile fields for paradoxes: it is clear that the same causes do not produce the same effects at the age of ten and at the age of one hundred! On the subject of longevity, the "recipe book" is far from having been written. Nevertheless, the Fondation IPSEN has chosen a few of these paradoxes to discuss and try and explain them.

Book Christianity and Human Rights Reconsidered

Download or read book Christianity and Human Rights Reconsidered written by Sarah Shortall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first global examination of the historical relationship between Christianity and human rights in the twentieth century. Leading historians, anthropologists, political theorists, legal scholars, and scholars of religion develop fresh approaches to issues such as human dignity, personalism, religious freedom, the role of ecumenical and transatlantic networks, and the relationship between Christian and liberal rights theories. In doing so they move well beyond the temporal and geographical limits of the existing scholarship, exploring the connection between Christianity and human rights, not only in Europe and the United States, but also in Africa, Latin America, and China. They offer alternative chronologies and bring to light overlooked aspects of this history, including the role of race, gender, decolonization, and interreligious dialogue. Above all, these essays foreground the complicated relationship between global rights discourses - whether Christian, liberal, or otherwise - and the local contexts in which they are developed and implemented.

Book The Market for Academics

Download or read book The Market for Academics written by Christine Musselin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-04 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses academic labor markets in three countries: France, Germany, and the United States. The management of faculty careers is a critical issue in university autonomy, and in many countries recent reforms have increasingly addressed this area. Musselin’s exhaustive empirical research on academic job hiring practices and faculty career patterns included over 200 interviews with faculty members and administrators concerning two disciplines: history and math. Each of the countries has very different historical traditions with regard to how peers recruit their colleagues within the academy. Using what is known as an "economics of quality" comparative approach, she sheds new light on faculty worklife. The author’s focus on the criteria of evaluation in academic hiring decisions is a unique contribution and one that should stimulate the current debates on higher education reforms.

Book Biological Relatives

Download or read book Biological Relatives written by Sarah Franklin and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-five years after its initial success as a form of technologically assisted human reproduction, and five million miracle babies later, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become a routine procedure worldwide. In Biological Relatives, Sarah Franklin explores how the normalization of IVF has changed how both technology and biology are understood. Drawing on anthropology, feminist theory, and science studies, Franklin charts the evolution of IVF from an experimental research technique into a global technological platform used for a wide variety of applications, including genetic diagnosis, livestock breeding, cloning, and stem cell research. She contends that despite its ubiquity, IVF remains a highly paradoxical technology that confirms the relative and contingent nature of biology while creating new biological relatives. Using IVF as a lens, Franklin presents a bold and lucid thesis linking technologies of gender and sex to reproductive biomedicine, contemporary bioinnovation, and the future of kinship.

Book Property in the Body

    Book Details:
  • Author : Donna Dickenson
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2007-04-19
  • ISBN : 1139462938
  • Pages : 19 pages

Download or read book Property in the Body written by Donna Dickenson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-19 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New developments in biotechnology radically alter our relationship with our bodies. Body tissues can now be used for commercial purposes, while external objects, such as pacemakers, can become part of the body. Property in the Body: Feminist Perspectives transcends the everyday responses to such developments, suggesting that what we most fear is the feminisation of the body. We fear our bodies are becoming objects of property, turning us into things rather than persons. This book evaluates how well-grounded this fear is, and suggests innovative models of regulating what has been called 'the new Gold Rush' in human tissue. This is an up-to-date and wide-ranging synthesis of market developments in body tissue, bringing together bioethics, feminist theory and lessons from countries that have resisted commercialisation of the body, in a theoretically sophisticated and practically significant approach.

Download or read book Single Parents written by Berit Åström and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-29 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume addresses how single mothers and fathers are represented in novels, self-help literature, daily newspapers, film and television, as well as within their own narratives in interviews on social media. With proportions varying between countries, the number of single parents has been increasing steadily since the 1970s in the Western world. Contributions to this volume analyse how various societies respond to these parents and family forms. Through a range of materials, methodologies and national perspectives, chapters make up three sections to cover single mothers, single fathers and solo mothers (single women who became parents through assisted reproductive technologies). The authors reveal that single parenthood is divided along the lines of gender and socioeconomic status, with age, sexuality and the reason for being a single parent coming into play.
