Editorial Reviews
Product Description
This book is a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between the social sciences and the appearance and growth of bioethics, and provides new analysis on how ordinary questions become “bioethical” questions.
Book Description
Although the field of bioethics is now about 40 years old, sociologists are only now beginning to explore the ramifications of its appearance and growth. The View from Here presents the best of this new work, exploring: the profession of bioethics and its role in discussions about the means and ends of the life sciences; how ordinary questions become ldquo;bioethicalrdquo; questions and why some bioethical issues fail to attract the attention of bioethicists; variations in the manifestations of bioethics in different countries and health systems; the relationship between social science and bioethics and the effect of the rise of bioethics on the field of medical sociology. The rich understanding of bioethics offered by this volume makes it an essential text for medical sociologists, medical anthropologists, bioethicists, and to the increasingly large audience of those interested in the relationship between the social sciences and bioethics
