Abstract

Voilà plus de 30 ans que l'on congèle sperme, ovocytes, embryons humains.Des CECOS (Centre d'études et de conservation des oeufs et du sperme humain) ont été créés pour cela. Leur mise en place, leurs questionnements éthiques, les valeurs qu'ils veulent ou non promouvoir (gratuité, anonymat), illustrent le fort impact de la médicalisation de notre société. Les gamètes détachés du corps permettent d'espérer une paternité/maternité ultérieure, et en cas de cancer un tel espoir peut contribuer à la volonté de guérir, mais suscitent également des fantasmes de maîtrise, voire d'immortalité. L'ouvrage donne la parole aux acteurs de la première génération de CECOS et prend acte des grands défis issus de ces mutations de la société au contact des biotechnologies.

Abstract

"This book is a comprehensive study of the ethics of killing in cases in which the metaphysical or moral status of the individual killed is uncertain or controversial. Among the beings whose status is questionable or marginal in this way are human embryos and fetuses, neonates, animals, anencephalic infants, human beings with severe, congenital, cognitive impairments, and human beings who have become severely demented or irreversibly comatose." "In an attempt to understand the moral status of these beings, Jeff McMahan develops and defends distinctive accounts of the nature of personal identity, the evaluation of death, and the wrongness of killing. He contends that the morality of killing is not unitary; rather, the principles that determine the morality of killing in marginal cases are different from those that govern the killing of persons who are self-conscious and rational."--Jacket.
