Bioethics: 50 Puzzles, Problems, and Thought Experiments collects 50 cases-both real and imaginary-that have been, or should be, of special interest and importance to philosophical bioethics. Cases are collected together under topical headings in a natural order for an introductory course in bioethics. Each case is described in a few pages, which includes bioethical context, a concise narrative of the case itself, and a discussion of its importance, both for broader philosophical issues and for practical problems in clinical ethics and health policy. Each entry also contains a brief, annotated, list of suggested readings. In addition to the classic cases in bioethics, the book contains discussion of cases that involve several emerging bioethical issues: especially, issues around disability, social justice, and the practice of medicine in a diverse and globalized world.Key Features:Gives readers all chapters presented in an identical format:The CaseResponsesSuggested Readings Includes reference to up-to-date literature in journals devoted both to more generalist ethics and to bioethicsOffers short and self-contained chapters, allowing students to quickly understand an issue and giving instructors flexibility in assigning readings to match the themes of the courseFeatures actual or lightly fictionalized cases in humanitarian aid, offering a type of case that is often underrepresented in bioethics booksAuthored by three scholars who are actively involved in the central research areas of bioethics.…
