Patients travel to Thailand for fast surgery; commercial surrogate mothers in India deliver babies to parents in rich countries; organs, body parts, and tissues are trafficked from East to Western Europe. Physicians and nurses are migrating from Africa to the U.S., while thousands of children or patients with malaria, tuberculosis, and AIDS die each day because they cannot afford effective drugs that are too expensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMainstream bioethics, as it has developed over the last 50 years in Western countries, is evolving into a broader approach that is relevant for people across the world, focusing on new global problems. \u003cem\u003eGlobal Bioethics\u003c\/em\u003e provides an introduction to this emerging field. Addressing these issues requires a broader vision of bioethics that not only extends beyond the current emphasis on individual autonomy but also critiques the social, economic, and political contexts generating these problems on a global scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book argues that global bioethics is a necessity because the social, economic, and environmental effects of globalization demand critical responses. Global bioethics is not a finished product ready to be applied to solve global problems. Instead, it is the ongoing result of interaction and exchange between local practices and global discourse. It combines recognition of differences and respect for cultural diversity with convergence towards common perspectives and shared values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGlobal Bioethics\u003c\/em\u003e examines the nature of global problems and the types of responses needed to illustrate the essence of global bioethics. It discusses the ethical frameworks available for global discourse and demonstrates how these are transformed into global governance mechanisms and practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605947433196,"sku":"9781138124097","price":341.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138124097-global-bioethics.jpg?v=1778142638","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/global-bioethics-by-henk-ten-have-9781138124097","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
