Abstract

"Technology shapes every aspect of human experience and it is the primary driver of social and ecological change. Given this, it is surprising that we spend so little time studying, analyzing, and evaluating new technologies. Occasionally, an issue grabs public attention--for example, the use of human embryonic stem cells in medical research or online file sharing of music and movies. However, these are the exceptions. For the most part, we enthusiastically embrace each new technology and application with little critical reflection on how it will impact our lives and our world. What is more, when an issue raised by an emerging technology is attended to, we often lack the language, concepts, and critical perspectives to thoroughly address it. The aim of this textbook is to introduce students and other readers to the ethical issues associated with a broad array of emerging technologies--including nanotechnology, synthetic genomics, robotics, genetic engineering, geoengineering, synthetic meat, virtual reality, information technologies, sex selection, and many more--and to help them develop analytical skills and perspectives for effectively evaluating novel technologies and applications"--

Abstract

Wo von »Freiheit« gesprochen wird, geht es gewöhnlich um das Handeln. Legt man aber zugrunde, dass wir uns die Welt aktiv in Zeichen erschließen, so ist damit auch für das Erkennen und Verstehen Freiheit vorausgesetzt. Lars Leetens Buch geht dem Sinn dieser Voraussetzung nach. Dabei zeigt sich, dass Freiheit im Verstehen nicht als Willkür gedacht werden kann. Das theoretische Weltverhältnis als frei zu begreifen, bedeutet vielmehr, sich die Verantwortung zu vergegenwärtigen, mit der alles Denken und Verstehen von Anfang an verbunden ist.

Abstract

Druk bezig zijn en een overvolle agenda hebben is in deze tijd synoniem met een succesvol bestaan. Hermsen schetst de politieke en sociale gevolgen van onze rusteloze en in meerdere opzichten op drift geraakte samenleving. Vanuit het gedachtegoed van Bergson, Bloch, Sloterdijk en Levinas ontwikkelt ze een nieuwe visie op het fenomeen tijd. Tegen de huidige tijdgeest in verkent zij het belang van rust, verveling, aandacht en wachten.

Abstract

"Scientific advances such as the sequencing of the human genome have created great promise for improving human health by providing a greater understanding of disease biology and enabling the development of new drugs, diagnostics, and preventive services. However, the translation of research advances into clinical applications has so far been slower than anticipated. This is due in part to the complexity of the underlying biology as well as the cost and time it takes to develop a product. Pharmaceutical companies are adapting their business models to this new reality for product development by placing increasing emphasis on leveraging alliances, joint development efforts, early-phase research partnerships, and public-private partnerships. These collaborative efforts make it possible to identify new drug targets, enhance the understanding of the underlying basis of disease, discover novel indications for the use of already approved products, and develop biomarkers for disease outcomes or directed drug use. While the potential benefits of collaboration are significant, the fact that the relationships among development partners are often financial means that it is vital to ensure trust by identifying, disclosing, and managing any potential sources of conflict that could create bias in the research being performed together."Conflict of Interest and Medical Innovation" is the summary of a workshop convened by the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Translating Genomic-Based Research for Health in June 2013 to explore the appropriate balance between identifying and managing conflicts of interest and advancing medical innovation. A wide range of stakeholders, including government officials, pharmaceutical company representatives, academic administrators and researchers, health care providers, medical ethicists, patient advocates, and consumers, were invited to present their perspectives and participate in discussions during the workshop. This report focuses on current conflict of interest policies and their effect on medical innovation in an effort to identify best practices and potential solutions for facilitating innovation while still ensuring scientific integrity and public trust"--
