DOWNLOAD EBOOKHuman cloning is a main focus of current bioethical discussion. Involving the self-understanding of the human species, it has become one of the most debated topics in biomedical ethics, not only on the national, but also on the international level. This book brings together articles by bioethicists from several countries who address questions of human cloning within the context of different cultural, religious and regional settings against the background of globalizing biotechnology. It explores on a cross-cultural level the problems and opportunities of global bioethics.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKShould we make people healthier, smarter, and longer-lived if genetic and medical advances enable us to do so? Matti Häyry asks this question in the context of genetic testing and selection, cloning and stem cell research, gene therapies and enhancements. The ethical questions explored include parental responsibility, the use of people as means, the role of hope and fear in risk assessment, and the dignity and meaning of life. Taking as a starting point the arguments presented by Jonathan Glover, John Harris, Ronald M. Green, Jürgen Habermas, Michael J. Sandel, and Leon R. Kass, who defend a particular normative view as the only rational or moral answer, Matti Häyry argues that many coherent rationalities and moralities exist in the field, and that to claim otherwise is mistaken.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book, based on the premise that democracy promotes peace and justice, explores theoretical and practical problems that can arise or that have arisen in democratic polities. Contributors address, with clarifying analyses, such theoretical issues as the relationship between recursivist metaphysics and democracy, the relationship between the economic and political orders, and the nature of justice. Contributors offer, as well, enlightening resolutions of practical problems resulting from a history of social, political or economic injustice. Philosophy of Peace (POP), in conjunction with Concerned Philosophers for Peace, explores socio-political and ethical perspectives on modern warfare, peacemaking, and conflict resolution, including the many forms of domestic and global violence, such as sexism, racism, and classism.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKReceiving a critical organ can save your life, but sometimes these organs are harvested from living people, who might be donating them for financial reasons. Does this kind of practice constitute exploitation of the economically disadvantaged? Does the system of selling and using body parts undermine humanity? This book explores the ethics of selling body parts, whether selling body parts benefits or exploits the poor, and the state of organ trafficking in other countries. Philosophical questions are interpreted through real life events and examples. Readers gain knowledge of how organ markets operate and affect different regions of the world through easily-accessible essays.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents new data on trafficking in human beings for organ removal, collected under the auspices of the EU-funded project 'combating trafficking in human beings for the purpose of organ removal' (The HOTT Project) between 2012 and 2015.

This is followed by an empirical interview study on patients who purchased kidney transplants abroad (Chapter II), a study of prosecuted criminal cases (Chapter III), recommendations to improve non-legislative responses to the crime (Chapter IV) and finally, indicators for law enforcement, transplant professionals and victim support workers to identify the crime (Chapter V).
