Synthetic biology is an emerging technology that aims to design and engineer DNA and molecular structures of single cell organisms. Existing organisms can be altered, novel organisms can be created. In doing so, synthetic biology makes use of specific technoscientific understandings of living beings. This volume sets out to explore and assess synthetic biology and its notions of life from philosophical, ethical, social, and legal perspectives. Contents Concepts, Metaphors, Worldviews.- Public Good and Private Ownership.Social and Legal Ramifications.- Opportunities, Risks, Governance. Target Groups Scholars of sociology, philosophy, theory of science, history of science, biology, engineering Politicians and policymakers The Editor Dr. Joachim Boldt is Deputy Director at the Institut für Ethik und Geschichte der Medizin in Freiburg, Germany.

In den letzten Jahren mehren sich die Stimmen, die in Kierkegaard nicht mehr den Philosophen einer weltlosen Subjektivität sehen, sondern den Vertreter einer von Rigorismus und Direktivismus freien Ethik. In diese Ansätze reiht sich die vorliegende Arbeit ein, die zum Ziel hat, die spezifisch ethische Wendung, die Kierkegaard dem Erkenntnisbegriff gibt, aufzudecken und ihrer Wirksamkeit auch in "Furcht und Zittern", der scheinbar radikal subjektivistischen und anti-ethischen Schrift zum Glauben Abrahams, nachzugehen.

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book examines the concept of care and care practices in healthcare from the interdisciplinary perspectives of continental philosophy, care ethics, the social sciences, and anthropology. Areas addressed include dementia care, midwifery, diabetes care, psychiatry, and reproductive medicine. Special attention is paid to ambivalences and tensions within both the concept of care and care practices. Contributions in the first section of the book explore phenomenological and hermeneutic approaches to care and reveal historical precursors to care ethics. Empirical case studies and reflections on care in institutionalised and standardised settings form the second section of the book. The concluding chapter, jointly written by many of the contributors, points at recurring challenges of understanding and practicing care that open up the field for further research and discussion. This collection will be of great value to scholars and practitioners of medicine, ethics, philosophy, social science and history.

Die synthetische Biologie führt auf systematische Weise fort, was in der Gentechnik begonnen wurde: Die zielgerichtete Änderung und Optimierung zellulärer Funktionen auf molekularer Ebene. Waren diese Eingriffe in der klassischen Gentechnik jedoch beschränkt auf die Implementierung einzelner Gene und kurzer Gensequenzen in Wirtsorganismen, so werden in der synthetischen Biologie ganze Genome einzelliger Organismen und deren Stoffwechsel- und Signalübertragungsprozesse zum Objekt des technischen Eingreifens. Mit diesen neuen technischen Möglichkeiten verbindet sich ein breites Spektrum denkbarer Anwendungsfelder. Es reicht von Bakterien, die Wasserstoff produzieren, über Mikroorganismen zum Abbau von Schadstoffen in der Umwelt bis hin zu Viren, die maligne Zellen im menschlichen Körper aufspüren und deren Wachstum stoppen. Angesichts der Eingriffstiefe, mit der die Synthetische Biologie einfache Formen des Lebens zu ändern bestrebt ist, stellen sich jedoch auch grundlegende philosophische und ethische Fragen. Kann man im Hinblick auf die Synthetische Biologie von der 'Erschaffung von Leben' sprechen? Sind künstlich hergestellte Lebewesen 'living machines'? Was heißt es für unser immer auch normativ und lebensweltlich geprägtes Verständnis vom Leben, wenn wir Leben so grundlegend manipulieren können? Diesen Fragen, die bisher erst in Anfängen aufgeworfen worden sind, wird in dem vorgestellten Band nachgegangen. Mit Beiträgen von Sonja Billerbeck, Andreas Brenner, Peter Dabrock, Armin Grunwald, Hans Werner Ingensiep, Gregory E. Kaebnick, Nikolaus Knoepffler, Kristian Köchy, Sven Panke, Michael Reth, Markus Schmidt
