Cord blood can be an altemative to bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of patients with blood and immune disorders. It is currently being used for the treatment of leukaemia, lymphomas, aplastic anaemia and blood hereditary disorders. It is also a source for stem cell research. It is useful to point out that the current use of cord blood stem cells has thus far been of an allogenic type - that is, the cells are obtained from donation. There is less likelihood of rejection of stem cells than there is in bone marrow transplant. ; peer-reviewed

This book is a set of recommendations from the Bioethics Commission in response to a request from President Obama to review the ethical issues associated with the conduct and implications of neuroscience research; and President Obama's request related to the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative. Specifically the President asked the Bioethics Commission to ""identify proactively a set of core ethical standards - both to guide neuroscience research and to address some of the ethical dilemmas that may be raised by the application of neuroscience researc

Considering efficiency, equality, and morality, this book argues for qualified market expansion, particularly in legalizing kidney sales and prostitution. Legalizing prostitution will benefit both men and women, as argued in a chapter jointly written with Yan Wang. Blood donation without monetary compensation can still result in adequate blood supply if schools educate children that blood donation can actually benefit a donor's health. As a society becomes more advanced, with higher incomes and a better educated populace, more activities can be subject to market exchange, with gradual popular acceptance. Without serious misinformation and irrationality, inequality/fairness as such cannot be a valid reason for limiting the scope of the market. The book supports the use of markets to increase efficiency while also increasing the effort to promote equality, making all income groups better off.

National, European and international concepts and strategies concerning the legal and ethical framework of chimera and hybrid research are still largely missing, even though they are absolutely necessary in order to use the potential of chimera and hybrid research effectively and efficiently for the benefit of science and society. The outcome of the CHIMBRIDS-Project successfully sheds light on the chances and risks of this research and provides legal solutions to existing problems in order to help decision-makers fulfil their tasks in an informed and efficient manner. This comprehensive volum

Animals obviously cannot have a right of free speech or a right to vote because they lack the relevant capacities. But their right to life and to be free of exploitation is no less fundamental than the corresponding right of humans, writes Julian H. Franklin. This theoretically rigorous book will reassure the committed, help the uncertain to decide, and arm the polemicist.Franklin examines all the major arguments for animal rights proposed to date and extends the philosophy in new directions. Animal Rights and Moral Philosophy begins by considering the utilitarian argument of equal respect fo

Responsibility, Complexity, and Abortion: Toward a New Image of Ethical Thought draws from feminist theory, post-structuralist theory, and complexity theory to develop a new set of ethical concepts for broaching the thinking challenges that attend the experience of unwanted pregnancy. Author Karen Houle does not only argue for these concepts; she enacts a method for working with them, a method that brackets the tendency to take positions and to think that position-taking is what ethical analysis involves. This book thus provides concrete evidence of a theoretically-grounded, compassionate way

The information world has in its half century of existence thrown up a wide range of ethical problems involving privacy issues, personal data protection breaches, societal and work issues, and new ways of undermining social order and culture. To these issues can be added the emerging concept of a global village with, however, more visible discrimination and inequalities between the 'haves' and 'have nots', and a new political order where the military might of America, based on its digital weaponry, has made it the sole dominant superpower. ; N/A

Climate change is arguably the great problem confronting humanity, but we have done little to head off this looming catastrophe. In this work, Gardiner illuminates our dangerous inaction by placing the environmental crisis in an entirely new light, considering it as an ethical failure
