Challenges In Medical Ethics: The South African Context

This is a book about several specific and serious challenges that bioethics has to deal with in our time, particularly in the South African context. From an almost non-existent 'science' at the beginning of the 20th century, not receiving systematic reflection in intellectual circles such as universities, bioethics has grown with unprecedented strides and has established itself across the world as a major field of study. This book is an acknowledgement of the relevance and actuality of this development of bioethics internationally, and particularly in South Africa. In addition, it is an inter- and multidisciplinary composition of contributors and a significant reflection of the interdisciplinary approach that is universally required for bioethical work. The contributions also testify to a notable diversity in recently researched issues and in the backgrounds of the contributors.
