Solidarity in Biomedicine and Beyond Cambridge Bioethics and Law Series
Langue : Anglais
Auteurs : Prainsack Barbara, Buyx Alena
This book proposes ways to use the notion of solidarity fruitfully so as to inform policy and practice in biomedicine.
In times of global economic and political crises, the notion of solidarity is gaining new currency. This book argues that a solidarity-based perspective can help us to find new ways to address pressing problems. Exemplified by three case studies from the field of biomedicine: databases for health and disease research, personalised healthcare, and organ donation, it explores how solidarity can make a difference in how we frame problems, and in the policy solutions that we can offer.
