Talrijk en indrukwekkend zijn de zegeningen van de moderne geneeskunde. Lasertechnologie en gecompliceerde chirurgische ingrepen zoals transplantaties verhelpen aandoeningen die vroeger onherroepelijk fataal waren. Slopende infectieziekten,ooit verantwoordelijk voor massale sterfte, worden onder de duim gehouden met antibiotica en vaccinatie. En als ons psychisch welzijn wordt ondergraven, staan prozac en andere psychofarmaca garant voor een hernieuwd evenwicht. De westerse mens, daarover kan geen misverstand bestaan, leeftlanger en comfortabeler dan ooit tevoren. Maar tevreden is hijniet. 'De samenleving zal een door de technologie gedomineerdesamenleving zowel aanvaarden als wantrouwen', schreef A.J. Dunning. Waar het gaat om onze gezondheid en de toenemende medische mogelijkheden liggen scepsis, onbehagen en angst voortdurend op de loer. Hoe groot het ontzag voor de medische verworvenheden ook mag zijn, hoe hoog gespannen de verwachtingook, de twijfel blijft knagen. In dit werkje belichten een aantal wetenschappers uiteenlopende aspecten van deze paradox.

In only four decades, bioethics has transformed from a fledgling field into a complex, rapidly expanding, multidisciplinary field of inquiry and practice.  Its influence can be found not only in our intellectual and biomedical institutions, but also in almost every facet of our social, cultural, and political life. This volume maps the remarkable development of bioethics in American culture, uncovering the important historical factors that brought it into existence, analyzing its cultural, philosophical, and professional dimensions, and surveying its potential future trajectories.  Bringing together a collection of original essays by seminal figures in the fields of medical ethics and bioethics, it addresses such questions as the following:   - Are there precise moments, events, socio-political conditions, legal cases, and/or works of scholarship to which we can trace the emergence of bioethics as a field of inquiry in the United States?   - What is the relationship between the historico-causal factors that gave birth to bioethics and the factors that sustain and encourage its continued development today?   - Is it possible and/or useful to view the history of bioethics in discrete periods with well-defined boundaries?   - If so, are there discernible forces that reveal why transitions occurred when they did? What are the key concepts that ultimately frame the field and how have they evolved and developed over time?   - Is the field of bioethics in a period of transformation into biopolitics?   Contributors include George Annas, Howard Brody, Eric J. Cassell, H.  Tristram Engelhardt Jr., Edmund L. Erde, John Collins Harvey, Albert R. Jonsen, Loretta Kopelman, Laurence B. McCullough, Edmund D. Pellegrino, Warren T. Reich, Carson Strong, Robert M. Veatch, and Richard M. Zaner.
