This text crosses the borders between bioethics and law, but moves beyond the domestic law/bioethics struggles for dominance by exploring attempts to articulate universal principles on human rights.Bioethics was "born in the USA" and the values American bioethics embrace are based on American law, including liberty and justice. This book crosses the borders between bioethics and law, but moves beyond the domestic law/bioethics struggles for dominance by exploring attempts to articulate universal principles based on international human rights. The isolationism of bioethics in the US is not tenable in the wake of scientific triumphs like decoding the human genome, and civilizational tragedies like international terrorism. Annas argues that by crossing boundaries which have artificially separated bioethics and health law from the international human rights movement, American bioethics can be reborn as a global force for good, instead of serving mainly the purposes of U.S. academics. This thesis is explored in a variety of international contexts such as terrorism and genetic engineering, and in U.S. domestic disputes such as patient rights and market medicine. The citizens of the world have created two universal codes: science has sequenced the human genome and the United Nations has produced the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The challenge for American bioethics is to combine these two great codes in imaginative and constructive ways to make the world a better, and healthier, place to live.Human rightsMoral and ethical aspectsMedical laws and legislationMoral and ethical aspectsMedical laws and legislationMoral and ethical aspectsUnited StatesBioethicsUnited StatesElectronic books.Human rightsMoral and ethical aspects.Medical laws and legislationMoral and ethical aspects.Medical laws and legislationMoral and ethical aspectsBioethics174/.957/0973Annas George J.922498MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457513303321American bioethics2473376UNINA02748nam 22007213u 450 991078517120332120230207213716.01-282-64454-897866126445420-472-02259-8(CKB)2670000000040639(EBL)3414854(OCoLC)743201179(SSID)ssj0000422691(PQKBManifestationID)11310345(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000422691(PQKBWorkID)10432013(PQKB)10729981(MiAaPQ)EBC3414854(EXLCZ)99267000000004063920160815d2010|||| u|| |engur|n|---|||||txtccrMark One or More[electronic resource] Civil Rights in Multiracial AmericaAnn Arbor University of Michigan Press20101 online resource (209 p.)The Politics of Race and EthnicityDescription based upon print version of record.0-472-03280-1 Contents; List of Tables and Figures; Preface; 1.
