As the first of its kind, this handbook
presents state-of-the-art information and analysis concerning the state
of affairs in bioethics in approximately 50 countries. The country
reports point out the most important discussions as well as the emerging
topics in the field. Readers can orientate themselves quickly as
regards the various relevant issues, institutional structures and
expertise available in these countries. The authorship of this reference
work is truly global as it involves contributions from the best authors
with innate knowledge of the bioethics situation in these countries.
The Handbook of Global Bioethics is published at the right time for the progressive
development of bioethics. Started as a discourse critical of medical professional
ethics, the new discipline of bioethics emerged in the 1970s primarily in western
countries. Concerns about the potential impacts of new scientific and technological
advances were dominant. The main challenge was how to empower patients and
citizens in light of the new diagnostic and therapeutic powers of medical practice
and the sheer endless technological possibilities to improve health, eliminate
disease, and extend life.
However, since the turn of the millennium, bioethics has entered a new, more
expansive stage. Due to international cooperation, new information technologies,
and transnational economic activities, bioethical issues have also been globalized.
Bioethical challenges are now experienced in almost all countries. Yet the major
questions facing global bioethics today are no longer related to the power of science
and technology. Nowadays the most important bioethical questions are related to
money and socio-economic conditions. Many people in a large number of countries
do not even have access to the benefits of scientific and technological progress.
They have treatable diseases but medication is not available. They need surgery but
sanitary facilities are far away. They need medical care but cannot afford to pay.
They cannot take care of their sick children because they have to work long hours
away from home. They cannot properly feed themselves and their family. Thus the
processes of globalization have called into existence a truly global bioethics, but at
the same time the neoliberal market ideology has particularly created multiple new
bioethical issues.
