What should happen when doctors and parents disagree about what would be best for a child? When should courts become involved? Should life support be stopped against parents' wishes? The case of Charlie Gard, reached global attention in 2017. It led to widespread debate about the ethics of disagreements between doctors and parents, about the place of the law in such disputes, and about the variation in approach between different parts of the world. In this book, medical ethicists Dominic Wilkinson and Julian Savulescu critically examine the ethical questions at the heart of disputes about medical treatment for children. They use the Gard case as a springboard to a wider discussion about the rights of parents, the harms of treatment, and the vital issue of limited resources. They discuss other prominent UK and international cases of disagreement and conflict. From opposite sides of the debate Wilkinson and Savulescu provocatively outline the strongest arguments in favour of and against treatment. They analyse some of the distinctive and challenging features of treatment disputes in the 21st century and argue that disagreement about controversial ethical questions is both inevitable and desirable. They outline a series of lessons from the Gard case and propose a radical new "dissensus" framework for future cases of disagreement.

If your team isn't getting results, you may think the problem starts with a failure in leadership. While the person in charge may have issues, a leadership problem doesn't necessarily mean you have a "leader" problem. Leadership is not just about the people at the top, but is a social process, enabling individuals to work together as a cohesive group to produce collective results. This book will show you how to diagnose problems in your team by focusing on the three outcomes of effective leadership: direction, alignment, and commitment. By assessing where your group stands in each of these outcomes, you can plan and implement the changes necessary to get better results.

This ecology of ethics seeks to balance the needs of the individual and those of the various levels of community. As James A. Mackin, Jr., shows, both modernism and postmodernism have undermined the traditional foundations for ethics. Using an ecological model, however, Community over Chaos develops a common ground for ethical judgments about communication, thus countering the current theoretical climate of pessimistic cynicism toward the very possibility of ethics. This theoretical pessimism is not merely an academic problem. The general public is becoming more and more disillusioned about

Dass Organe in Unternehmen nach wie vor bei Haftungsfragen im besonderen Fokus stehen, zeigt nicht zuletzt der VW-Abgasskandal. Die zunehmende Inanspruchnahme macht alle Beteiligten unruhig und verlangt guten Rat, den das bereits in zwei Auflagen sehr gut angenommene Handbuch Managerhaftung für jeden Risikobereich bereit hält. Dargestellt wird die Haftung aller Organe in allen Rechtsformen, von der AG und der GmbH über die Genossenschaft und den Verein bis hin zu den in der 3. Auflage nun auch behandelten öffentlichen Unternehmen. Herzstück des Handbuchs sind besonders relevante Risikobereiche - aufgefächert nach Branchen wie Industrieunternehmen oder Kreditinstitute, nach Rechtsgebieten wie Kartellrecht oder Steuerrecht und nach Sachverhalten wie Wettbewerbsverstoß oder Produktverantwortung. Behandelt werden auch prozessuale Fragen, die D&O-Versicherung (in der 3. Auflage weiter ausgebaut) sowie Straftaten und Ordnungswidrigkeiten. Genauer betrachtet werden auch die Möglichkeiten, durch dienstvertragliche - haftungsabmildernde oder -verschärfende - Regelungen im Vorfeld Einfluss zu nehmen. Der zunehmenden Bedeutung von Corporate Social Responsibility wird durch ein neues Kapitel unter Einbeziehung des am 19.4.2017 in Kraft getretenen CSR-Richtlinie-Umsetzungsgesetzes ebenso Rechnung getragen wie den Fragestellungen rund um Internal Investigations.
