I was uninspired until I looked at the lucid 3-page discussion (pp. 152-154) on the problems the 1968 brain death definition (done to facilitate organ transplantation) has for other areas of bioethics. ( ) This is the seminal book setting forth the origins and development of biotechnology in America including a critical review of the oversight of ethics and politics of the biotechnology industry. In additon to the ethical behavior required of the industry, this book expounds on issues applicable to stem cell research, egg donation, cloning, chimeras, etc. A must read book tightly written and compact volume. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In Bioethics in America, Tina Stevens challenges the view that the origins of the bioethics movement can be found in the 1960s, a decade mounting challenges to all variety of authority. Instead, Stevens sees bioethics as one more product of a "centuries-long cultural legacy of American ambivalence toward progress," and she finds its modern roots in the responsible science movement that emerged following detonation of the atomic bomb. Rather than challenging authority, she says, the bioethics movement was an aid to authority, in that it allowed medical doctors and researchers to proceed on course while bioethicists managed public fears about medicine's new technologies. That is, the public was reassured by bioethical oversight of biomedicine; in reality, however, bioethicists belonged to the same mainstream that produced the doctors and researchers whom the bioethicists were guiding.
