Cross-Cultural Perspectives on the (Im)Possibility of Global Bioethics (Philosophy and Medicine / Asian Studies in Bioethics and the Philosophy of Medicine)

This collection of papers explores one of the central debates in the field of bioethics in the new century. It evaluates the controversy between the claim that there is a common morality accepted by all and the opposing view that there are different moral visions and moral rationalities, within which complex bioethical issues demand a solution.
Contributions within this volume offer different approaches and perspectives on the pursuit of global ethics in the new century. They are organized under five major themes.
