This book criticizes the suggestive implication of newer bioethics that we need a new ethical paradigm in order to handle the innovations of medicine and biotechnology. It proves that these innovations have a suggestive character which is not relevant, however, in order to justify a paradigm shift in ethics.

The panorama of bioethical problems is different today. Patients travel to Thailand for fast surgery; commercial surrogate mothers in India deliver babies to parents in rich countries; organs, body parts and tissues are trafficked from East to Western Europe; physicians and nurses migrating from Africa to the U.S; thousands of children or patients with malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS are dying each day because they cannot afford effective drugs that are too expensive. Mainstream bioethics as it has developed during the last 50 years in Western countries is evolving into a broader approach that is relevant for people across the world and is focused on new global problems. This book provides an introduction into the new field of global bioethics. Addressing these problems requires a broader vision of bioethics that not only goes beyond the current emphasis on individual autonomy, but that criticizes the social, economic and political context that is producing the problems at global level. This book argues that global bioethics is a necessity because the social, economic and environmental effects of globalization require critical responses.

M.A.BIOETHICS ; Bioethics education is being adopted in various countries as an integral part of the curriculum. Should bioethics be implemented in Maltese curricula, and if yes, how and at what educational level? On 19 October 2005, the 33rd Session of the General Conference of UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, which has been agreed upon by 191 Member States of UNESCO. After much deliberation and discussion, there has been a universal consensus on the importance of the introduction of bioethics education within each Member State, and consolidation of bioethics education where this is already in place. Bioethical principles are being seen as the basis of having virtuous citizens, and thus it is being suggested to strengthen and disseminate these principles at all levels, for practical reasons and to help people face important daily decisions with a conscientious background. Moral education has been prioritized for millennia, and educators worldwide have tried to instil in their students ethical perspectives as part of a holistic education. Modern scholars are reverting to the original meaning Potter gave to the term Global Bioethics, as it is argued that medical, social, and ecological issues are interconnected, as originally stated by Potter himself. Moreover, educational psychologists believe that a holistic and unified approach to education is more beneficial, and therefore we should combine our concerns and widen our focus to encompass environmental ethics, professional ethics, politics and economic issues. In this dissertation the author will argue that there is the need for the introduction of bioethics education in the Maltese curriculum through compulsory education as a cross-curricular theme to complement a holistic education scenario for the Maltese students. ; N/A
