The study aims to report an extension project completion entitled "Cinema, Health and Bioethics", organized by the Research Center for Bioethics and Collective Health (NUPEBISC) of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), in partnership with public institutions of health. The project enables the rapprochement between university and health services, discussing some issues related to the work process in health, care and management policies to the Unified Health System (SUS) in the light of the theoretical framework of Daily Bioethics by Giovanni Berlinguer. The project's first experience was in 2010, and it is still in progress. It enables the participation and integration of new subjects such as workers, undergraduate and post-graduate students. The working method to trigger reflection and debate is through cinematographic works selected from a list provided by the research group and elected by the participants according to their interests. During each of the five sections that make up each project's edition, the participants have the opportunity to reflect more deeply on relevant ethical topics in their daily lives. That has been considered an exciting time of health permanent education according to the assessment performed by the subjects, in the end. It is worth mentioning that the method encourages participation and provides subsidies for anchoring produced reflections, facilitates more critical, ethical and political analyses. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
BASE
This book discusses the philosophical foundations of bioethics, with a particular focus on the tensions and potential dilemmas generated by the intuitionist meta-ethical commitments of the predominant normative theory, namely "the four principles approach." This view is based on the prima facie norms of respect for autonomy (one ought to respect the autonomous choices of subjects of scientific research/patients), non-maleficence (one ought to refrain from inflicting harm), beneficence (one ought to do good and prevent, or remove, harm) and justice (one ought to treat people fairly). The tensions in applying these basic principles may lead to inaction in scientific experiments involving human subjects or to arbitrary applications of the norms in the art of caring. The problem can be made explicit in these terms: on the one hand, caring without respecting seems blind, degenerating into forms of paternalism when, for instance, the carer imposes her conception of the good life or a particular procedure on the cared-for; on the other hand, respecting without caring amounts to indifference or individualism when, for example, a person does not look after a vulnerable being properly. The initial hypothesis of this book, then, is that the concept of respectful care can be built up, working from an ethico-philosophical perspective, to be a leading notion capable of guiding our daily actions and bioethical practices

This book explores the many connections that bioethical thinking has with social reality. Bioethics, if it is to be effective, must engage with and address the actualities of modern life: policies, regulations, markets, opinions, and technological advances. In these original contributions fifteen notable scholars working in the North West of England take on this challenge. The series Values in Bioethics makes available original philosophical books in all areas of bioethics, including medical and nursing ethics, health care ethics, research ethics, environmental ethics, and global bioethics

"This volume offers a carefully argued, compelling theory of bioethics while eliciting practical implications for a wide array of issues including medical assistance-in-dying, the right to health care, abortion, animal research, and the definition of death. The authors' dual-value theory features mid-level principles, a distinctive model of moral status, a subjective account of well-being, and a cosmopolitan view of global justice. In addition to ethical theory, the book investigates the nature of harm and autonomous action, personal identity theory, and the 'non-identity problem' associated with many procreative decisions. Readers new to particular topics will benefit from helpful introductions, specialists will appreciate in-depth theoretical explorations and a novel take on various practical issues, and all readers will benefit from the book's original synoptic vision of bioethics. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core"--
