This book engages a debate on the ethics of care that evolves around the phenomenon of goodness without acknowledgment. Central to this investigation are care relations from a position that critically revaluates the intricate issues for the ethics of care: altruism and self-sacrifice, selflessness of care and lack of recognition. The inquiry opens a new perspective on self-sacrifice by drawing on the responsive phenomenology of Bernhard Waldenfels. Interpreting his description of the relationship between self and Other and the experience of otherness changes our view of the ways in which we are connected with each other and of the reasons why we respect and care for each other to a point at which the self is at risk. This new approach is well-placed to strengthen both the ideal and the recognition of self-less care. By bringing together intense debates in care ethics and responsive phenomenology, Susanne Pohlmann profoundly enriches the ethics of care and its related discussions.0.

The contributors to this international volume take up questions about a phenomenology of time that begins with and attunes to gender issues. Themes such as feminist conceptions of time, change and becoming, the body and identity, memory and modes of experience, and the relevance of time as a moral and political question, shape Time in Feminist Phenomenology and allow readers to explore connections between feminist philosophy, phenomenology, and time. With its insistence on the importance of gender experience to the experience of time, this volume is a welcome opening to new and critical thinking about being, knowledge, aesthetics, and ethics.

This open access book offers insights in short- and long-term experiences from families with bone marrow transplantations between minor siblings. It is based on the first extended qualitative study with 17 families about experiences with recent transplants and experiences with transplants up to 20 years in the past. It covers reflections of donors, recipients and other family members, as well as family interactions. Transplantation of bone marrow from one sibling to another who is ill with a blood cancer (such as Leukemia) is a life-saving therapy. Young children however are not in a position to give consent themselves. How should they be adequately included, depending to their age? Which ethical questions are raised for the parents both at the time of treatment and afterwards, and for the medical professionals in clinical and regulatory contexts? For an in-depth discussion of the findings the books brings together a group of leading scholars from the fields of bioethics, family sociology and philosophy of medicine.

It is becoming increasingly possible to fundamentally intervene into human life using disruptive biotechnologies. On the other side, artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly. In this twofold development, the boundaries between human nature and technology are being blurred. This has provoked fundamental questions about what it is to be human, with which this volume engages interdisciplinarily. Mit disruptiven Biotechnologien kann immer grundlegender in das menschliche Leben eingegriffen werden. Dem stehen die rasanten Fortschritte in der Entwicklung von Künstlicher Intelligenz gegenüber. In dieser doppelten Entwicklung werden die Grenzen zwischen menschlicher Natur und Technik diffus. Hieran entzünden sich grundlegende Fragen in Bezug auf unser Mensch-Sein, mit denen sich der vorliegende Band in interdisziplinärer Perspektive auseinandersetzt. Mit disruptiven Biotechnologien kann immer grundlegender in das menschliche Leben eingegriffen werden. Dem stehen die rasanten Fortschritte in der Entwicklung von Künstlicher Intelligenz gegenüber. In dieser doppelten Entwicklung werden die Grenzen zwischen menschlicher Natur und Technik diffus. Hieran entzünden sich grundlegende Fragen in Bezug auf unser Mensch-Sein: Werden Menschen unter therapeutischen Eingriffen mit disruptiven Biotechnologien - wie etwa Tiefer Hirnstimulation - zu Cyborgs? Lässt sich das Mensch-Sein mit disruptiven Biotechnologien optimieren: mit Hilfe von Eingriffen in das menschliche Erbgut, von Gesundheits-Apps, Psychopharmaka, Neurofeedbacks, Implantaten? Lassen sich Anwendungen von Biotechnologien zu Zwecken der Therapie und des Enhancements überhaupt klar unterscheiden? Stehen wir bereits am Anfang einer Ersetzung des Menschen durch die Technik, wie in trans- und posthumanistischen Utopien suggeriert wird? Der vorliegende Band setzt sich mit diesen und ähnlichen Fragen in interdisziplinärer Perspektive auseinander und regt damit zur Diskussion über neue Formen menschlichen Lebens mit disruptiven Biotechnologien an.
