Volume 2 provides for the first time a  comprehensive single-volume summary of recent international and  regional developments on specific topics in bioethics. \u003cbr\u003e  To give uniformity to the discussions all authors were asked to report  on the following topics: new reproductive technologies, abortion,  maternal-fetal conflicts, case of severely disabled newborns, consent  of treatment and experimentation, confidentiality, equitable access to  health care, ethical concerns raised by cost-containment measures,  decisions to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment, active  euthanasia, the definition of death, organ donation and  transplantation. \u003cbr\u003e  The internationally respected contributors report on the following 16  areas: the United States, Canada, Latin America, the United Kingdom  and Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Germany\/Austria\/Switzerland,  Eastern Europe, Spain\/Portugal\/Italy\/Scandinavia, India, Southeast  Asia, China, Japan, Australia\/New Zealand, Council of Europe\/EEC.  \u003cbr\u003e  The commentators draw on three sets of resources:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eStatutes, legislative proposals, and regulatory changes that  directly influence, or have implications for, areas of bioethical  concern; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCase law and court judgments that shape, either  decisively or suggestively, recent legal interpretations of particular  issues of areas in bioethics; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eFormal statements of  governmentally appointed commissions, advisory bodies, and  representative professional groups, as well as less formal statements  and recommendations of other organisations. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e   In addition to  providing timely summaries of recent developments, the volume offers  rich and useful bibliographical references to a wide array of  documents, many of which would be difficult for readers to learn  about, given the lack of centralized international collection of such  documents. \u003cbr\u003e  The \u003cem\u003eYearbook\u003c\/em\u003e should be widely consulted by all bioethicists,  public policy analysts, lawyers and theologians. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401052641\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2846-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 434\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398700200076,"sku":"9789401052641","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401052641.jpg?v=1771524963","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401052641","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
