PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Dying in the Twenty-First Century: Toward a New Ethical Framework for the Art

Physicians philosophers and theologians consider how to address death and dying for a diverse population in a secularized centuryMost of us are generally illequipped for dying Today we neither see death nor prepare for it But this has not always been the case In the early fifteenth century the Roman Catholic Church published the Ars moriendi texts which established prayers and practices for an art of dying In the twentyfirst century physicians rely on procedures and protocols for the efficient management of hospitalized patients How can we recapture an art of dying that can facilitate our dying well In this book physicians philosophers and theologians attempt to articulate a bioethical framework for dying well in a secularized diverse societyContributors discuss such topics as the acceptance of human finitude the role of hospice and palliative medicine spiritual preparation for death and the relationship between community and individual autonomy They also consider special cases including children elderly patients with dementia and death in the early years of the AIDS epidemic when doctors could do little more than accompany their patients in humble solidarityThese chapters make the case for a robust bioethicsone that could foster both the contemplation of finitude and the cultivation of community that would be necessary for a contemporary art of dying wellContributors Jeffrey P Bishop Lisa Sowle Cahill Daniel Callahan Farr A Curlin Lydia S Dugdale Michelle Harrington John Lantos Stephen R Latham M Therese Lysaught Autumn Alcott Ridenour Peter A Selwyn Daniel Sulmasy.

Human dignity has been enshrined in international agreements and national constitutions as a fundamental human right. The World Medical Association calls on physicians to respect human dignity and to discharge their duties with dignity. And yet human dignity is a term--like love, hope, and justice--that is intuitively grasped but never clearly defined. Some ethicists and bioethicists dismiss it other thinkers point to its use in the service of particular ideologies. In this book, Michael Barilan offers an urgently needed, nonideological, and thorough conceptual clarification of human dignity and human rights, relating these ideas to current issues in ethics, law, and bioethics. Combining social history, history of ideas, moral theology, applied ethics, and political theory, Barilan tells the story of human dignity as a background moral ethos to human rights. After setting the problem in its scholarly context, he offers a hermeneutics of the formative texts on Imago Dei provides a philosophical explication of the value of human dignity and of vulnerability presents a comprehensive theory of human rights from a natural, humanist perspective explores issues of moral status and examines the value of responsibility as a link between virtue ethics and human dignity and rights. Barilan accompanies his theoretical claim with numerous practical illustrations, linking his theory to such issues in bioethics as end-of-life care, cloning, abortion, torture, treatment of the mentally incapacitated, the right to health care, the human organ market, disability and notions of difference, and privacy, highlighting many relevant legal aspects in constitutional and humanitarian law. Modern scientific and medical advances bring new complexity and urgency to ethical issues in health care and biomedical research. This book applies the American philosophical theory of pragmatism to such bioethics. Critics of pragmatism argue that it lacks a universal moral foundation. Yet it is this very lack of a metaphysical dividing line between facts and values that makes pragmatism such a rigorous and appropriate method for solving problems in bioethics. For pragmatism, ethics is a way of satisfying the complex demands of multiple individuals and groups in a contingent and changing world. Pragmatism also demands careful attention to the ways in which scientific advances change our values and ethics. The essays in this book present different approaches to pragmatism and different ways of applying pragmatism to scientific and medical matters. They use pragmatism to guide thinking about such timely topics as stem cell research, human cloning, genetic testing, human enhancement, and care for the poor and aging. This new edition contains three new chapters, on difficulties with applying pragmatism to law and bioethics, on helping people to die, and on embryonic stem cell research. In recent years, bioethicists have worked on government commissions, on ethics committees in hospitals and nursing homes, and as bedside consultants. Because ethical knowledge is based on experience within the field rather than on universal theoretical propositions, it is open to criticism for its lack of theoretical foundation. Once in the clinic, however, ethicists noted the extent to which medical practice itself combined the certitudes of science with craft forms of knowledge. In an effort to forge a middle path between pure science and applied medical and ethical knowledge, bioethicists turned to the work of classical philosophy, especially the theme of a practical wisdom that entails a variable knowledge of particulars. In this book contemporary bioethicists and scholars of ancient philosophy explore the import of classical ethics on such pressing bioethical concerns as managed care, euthanasia, suicide, and abortion. Although the contributors write within the limits of their own disciplines, through cross references and counterarguments they engage in fruitful dialogue.
