xxsurl.com Autonomy And Trust In Bioethics - Onora O��neill Why has autonomy been a leading idea in philosophical writing on bioethics, and why has trust been marginal? In this important book, Onora O'Neill suggests that the conceptions of individual autonomy so widely relied on in bioethics are philosophically and ethically inadequate, and that they undermine rather than support relations of trust. She shows how Kant's non-individualistic view of autonomy provides a stronger basis for an approach to medicine, science and biotechnology, and does not marginalize untrustworthiness, while also explaining why trustworthy individuals and institutions are often undeservingly mistrusted. Her arguments are illustrated with issues raised by practices such as the use of genetic information by the police or insurers, research using human tissues, uses of new reproductive technologies, and media practices for reporting on medicine, science and technology. Autonomy and Trust in Bioethics will appeal to a wide range of readers in ethics, bioethics and related disciplines.Author: OíNeill, Onora Publisher: Cambridge University Press Illustration: N Language: ENG Title: Autonomy and Trust in Bioethics Pages: 00228 (Encrypted PDF) On Sale: 1998-04-17 SKU-13/ISBN: 9780521815406 Category: Science : Biotechnology Why has autonomy been a leading idea in philosophical writing on bioethics, and why has trust been marginal?

Bruce Jennings, Director of Bioethics at the Center for Humans and Nature, discusses the cultural meanings of biotechnology at the 2010 Tarrytown Meeting. The Tarrytown Meetings bring together people working to ensure that human biotechnologies and related emerging technologies support rather than undermine social justice, equality, human rights, ecological integrity and the common good. Find out more about the Tarrytown Meetings here: www.geneticsandsociety.org To find more videos, check out the Tarrytown Youtube channel: www.youtube.com Presentation Excerpt: So much by way of prologue. I turn now to four aspects of our cultural context, which I believe have a profound effect on the reception of biotechnology. 1. The end of value neutrality. In the post war period, a consensus gradually developed concerning authority, expertise, and progress in science and technology. It was a consensus centered around progressive values, economic growth, social modernization, and the betterment of life through technological advance. A new kind of cultural and political framing has emerged in recent years which is less prone to see in technology the amelioration of the human condition, and more prone to discern the development of new forms of control over individuals as material bodies—reproducing, laboring, neuro-chemically behaving bodies. 2. Anxiety concerning normative chaos in the external landscapes of our lives. Today the global economy is shifting perhaps as drastically as it did <b>...</b> |

George Annas, Professor at the Boston University School of Public Health, discusses his concerns about the new human genetic technologies at the 2010 Tarrytown Meeting. The Tarrytown Meetings bring together people working to ensure that human biotechnologies and related emerging technologies support rather than undermine social justice, equality, human rights, ecological integrity and the common good. Find out more about the Tarrytown Meetings here: www.geneticsandsociety.org To find more videos, check out the Tarrytown YouTube channel: www.youtube.com Presentation Abstract: The mythical cover story of biotechnology is progress, liberty, saving lives and extending life. The reality is expanding the gap between the rich and the poor, exploitation of women, the growth of unaccountable corporate power, the growth of the anti-terrorist state, and the de-professionalization of lawyers and physicians. Producing an effective countervailing, public force has so far proven illusive. Unless this deficit is remedied, and soon, biotechnology will take on a life of its own and move beyond our control. This is because biotechnology is viewed as scientific progress, has ample private customers, and has plenty of venture capitalists who are betting on a profitable biotech future. Construction of a countervailing force may nonetheless be possible because of other strong societal goals, including protecting health, safety, and welfare; protecting children specifically and the human species <b>...</b> |

Jaydee Hanson, Policy Director at the International Center for Technology Assessment, discusses future policy challenges for regulation and oversight of biotechnology at the 2010 Tarrytown Meeting. The Tarrytown Meetings bring together people working to ensure that human biotechnologies and related emerging technologies support rather than undermine social justice, equality, human rights, ecological integrity and the common good. Find out more about the Tarrytown Meetings here: www.geneticsandsociety.org To find more videos, check out the Tarrytown Youtube channel: www.youtube.com Presentation Excerpt: Cure or Alchemy? One of the problems with almost all of the human biotechnologies is a persistent appeal to the therapeutic misconception that the research will quickly lead to therapies for human patients. The arguments used by the proponents of gene transfer experiments (aka gene therapy), stem cell research, cloning, and now synthetic biology reads more like a religious prophecy than a scientific discussion of what is really likely to happen. The lame will walk, the blind will see, all diseases (especially the really difficult ones like Alzhemiers, Parkinsons, ALS) will be cured, we will live forever. Genetic engineering will allow us to avoid have diseases passed on to our children. Cows will be transformed to produce in their milk antibodies to diarrhea. Every technology's proponent claims it will cure disease, some will even end hunger. Too often, parts of the so <b>...</b> |

Rebecca Dresser, Professor of Ethics in Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis, discusses two core challenges to future biotechnology policy at the 2010 Tarrytown Meeting. The Tarrytown Meetings bring together people working to ensure that human biotechnologies and related emerging technologies support rather than undermine social justice, equality, human rights, ecological integrity and the common good. Find out more about the Tarrytown Meetings here: www.geneticsandsociety.org To find more videos, check out the Tarrytown YouTube channel: www.youtube.com Presentation Notes: Building consensus and developing adequate policies requires attention to two problems I. Partisan and Professional Politics in Bioethics Nearly 8 years as member of President's Council on Bioethics gave me an education in bioethics & politics In retrospect, before I joined the Council I was an innocent -- quite naïve about what happens when bioethics is conducted in the national spotlight, particularly when the deliberations address controversial issues that have become part of partisan political debates A. I learned some quite valuable things I learned that people of good will with different values and positions can join together in civil debate over many of the bioethical issues that divide people in this country. I learned that thoughtful scholars with diverse disciplinary backgrounds and moral commitments who haven't focused their work on bioethics bring new insights to the bioethics tabl <b>...</b> |

Environmental activist and author Bill McKibben talks about why he wrote Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age (2003), how it was received, and what this experience might tell us about communicating and organizing in support of practices and policies addressing human biotechnology, both domestically and internationally. Bill also shares his thoughts about ways in which the issues of climate change and human biotech can be understood as facets of a single dynamic involving the technological manipulation and transformation of the natural world, including plants, animals, humans and ecosystems. Bill is interviewed by Center for Genetics and Society associate executive director Marcy Darnovsky. Talking Biopolitics is a series of live web-based conversations and webinar presentations with distinguished thought leaders. We ask questions - and take yours - about how we can put our vision of a new biopolitics on the public radar. The series is organized by the Center for Genetics and Society to accompany the Tarrytown Meetings. The Center for Genetics and Society is a nonprofit information and public affairs organization working to encourage responsible uses and effective societal governance of the new human genetic and reproductive technologies. We work with a growing network of scientists, health professionals, civil society leaders, and others.
