Quatrième de couverture : "Cet ouvrage réunit les travaux conduits par le Laboratoire d'éthique médicale (université Paris-Descartes) en partenariat avec l'Institut de criminologie et de droit pénal (université Panthéon-Assas), lors d'un colloque dont l'objectif était de définir la notion d'altérité en rapport avec la vulnérabilité de la personne, tant au plan éthique que juridique. C'est sous l'angle commun de ces deux disciplines que de nombreuses questions ont été abordées, avec la conscience réciproque que l'éthique médicale ne saurait apporter de réponses complètes sans la contribution du droit, et en particulier du droit pénal et de sa philosophie, au même titre que le droit ne peut proposer de solutions juridiques sans l'apport de l'éthique. Dans un second volet, les intervenants ont étudié le thème du colloque du point de vue de l'ontologie transcendante, essayant de trouver le sens et les fins qu'attribuent les différentes religions à l'altérité vulnérable. L'apport de la laïcité n'a pas été écarté, par l'évocation de la médecine comme un art inspiré de la philosophie, visant à soulager les souffrances humaines au-delà des différences existentielles et des dogmes religieux, s'attachant fondamentalement à la réalité humaine et à son univers visible. Enfin, les propos conclusifs de cet ouvrage tentent d'ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives concernant les liens entre l'obligation juridique et le devoir moral dans le domaine de l'humanitarisme postmoderne."

This book provides a bridge between the theory to practice gap in contemporary health care ethics. It explores the messiness of everyday ethical issues and validates the potential impacts on health care professionals as wounded healers who regularly experience close proximity to suffering and pain. This book speaks to why ethics matters on a personal level and how moral distress experiences can be leveraged instead of hidden. The book offers contributions to both scholarship and the profession. Nurses, physicians, social workers, allied health care professionals, as well as academics and students will benefit from this book. .

Richardson's book is a defense of a position on a neglected topic in medical research ethics. Richardson points out that ethical regulations do not address one of the key dilemmas faced by medical researchers - whether or not they have obligations towards subjects who need care not directly related to the purpose of the study.

Nothing is more integral to democracy than voting. Most people believe that every citizen has the civic duty or moral obligation to vote, that any sincere vote is morally acceptable, and that buying, selling, or trading votes is inherently wrong. In this provocative book, Jason Brennan challenges our fundamental assumptions about voting, revealing why it is not a duty for most citizens--in fact, he argues, many people owe it to the rest of us not to vote. Bad choices at the polls can result in unjust laws, needless wars, and calamitous economic policies. Brennan shows why voters have duties to make informed decisions in the voting booth, to base their decisions on sound evidence for what will create the best possible policies, and to promote the common good rather than their own self-interest. They must vote well--or not vote at all. Brennan explains why voting is not necessarily the best way for citizens to exercise their civic duty, and why some citizens need to stay away from the polls to protect the democratic process from their uninformed, irrational, or immoral votes. In a democracy, every citizen has the right to vote. This book reveals why sometimes it's best if they don't. In a new afterword, "How to Vote Well," Brennan provides a practical guidebook for making well-informed, well-reasoned choices at the polls.
