Modern medicine  increasingly transforms the body and makes use of body parts for  diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive purposes. The book analyzes the  concept of body ownership. It also reviews the ownership issues  arising in clinical care (for example, donation policies, autopsy) and  biomedical research. Societies and legal systems also have to deal  with issues of body ownership. A comparison is made between specific  legal arrangements in The Netherlands and France, as examples of legal  approaches. In the final section of the book, different theoretical  perspectives on the human body are analyzed: libertarian, personalist,  deontological and utilitarian theories of body ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048150595\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9129-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 240\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481540391052,"sku":"9789048150595","price":143.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048150595.jpg?v=1779935321","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048150595","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
