| Summary: | Is it permissible to use a human embryo in stem cell research, or in general as a means for the benefit of others? Acknowledging each embryo as an object of moral concern, Louis M.Guenin argues that it is morally permissible to decline intrauterine transfer of an embryo formed outside the body, and that from this permission and the duty of beneficence, there follows a consensus justification for using donated embryos in service of humanitarian ends. He then proceeds to show how this justification commands assent even within moral and religious views commonly thought to oppose embryo use. Beneath his moral reasoning lies a carefully constructed metaphysical foundation incorporating accounts of the ontology of development, embryos, and species. He also incisively discusses nonreprocloning, reprocloning, ectogenesis, and related scientific frontiers. This compelling philosophical study will interest all concerned to understand virtue and obligation in the relief of suffering. |

Acknowledging each embryo as an object of moral concern, Louis M.Guenin argues that it is morally permissible to decline intrauterine transfer of an embryo formed outside the body, and that from this permission and the duty of beneficence, there follows a consensus justification for using donated embryos in service of humanitarian ends. He then proceeds to show how this justification commands assent even within moral and religious views commonly thought to oppose embryo use. Beneath his moral reasoning lies a carefully constructed metaphysical foundation incorporating accounts of the ontology of development, embryos, and species. He also incisively discusses nonreprocloning, reprocloning, ectogenesis, and related scientific frontiers. This compelling philosophical study will interest all concerned to understand virtue and obligation in the relief of suffering.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Life and death, Power over</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Human embryo / Research / Moral and ethical aspects</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Human embryo / Therapeutic use / Moral and ethical aspects</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Embryo Disposition / ethics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Embryo Research / ethics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Cloning, Organism / ethics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Embryo Transfer / ethics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Embryonic Stem Cells</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Personhood</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Embryon humain - Emploi en thérapeutique - Aspect moral</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Embryon humain - Recherche - Aspect moral</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Pouvoir sur la vie et la mort</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Ethik</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Cloning, Organism</subfield><subfield code="x">ethics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Embryo Disposition</subfield><subfield code="x">ethics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Embryo Research</subfield><subfield code="x">ethics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Embryo Transfer</subfield><subfield code="x">ethics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Embryonic Stem Cells</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Human embryo</subfield><subfield code="x">Research</subfield><subfield code="x">Moral and ethical aspects</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Human embryo</subfield><subfield code="x">Therapeutic use</subfield><subfield code="x">Moral and ethical aspects</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Life and death, Power over</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Personhood</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Embryo</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4014555-4</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Medizinische Ethik</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4074672-0</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Person</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4134819-9</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Medizinische Ethik</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4074672-0</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Embryo</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4014555-4</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Person</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4134819-9</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">HBZ Datenaustausch</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=016688750&sequence=000002&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Inhaltsverzeichnis</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="943" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">oai:aleph.bib-bvb.de:BVB01-016688750</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

| spelling | Guenin, Louis M. Verfasser aut The morality of embryo use Louis M. Guenin 1. publ. Cambridge [u.a.] Cambridge Univ. Press 2008 X, 273 S. 24 cm txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (p. 259-268) and index Preliminaries -- Epidosembryos -- Individuation -- Respect for specific life -- Consensus -- Clones -- Analyzing alternatives -- Shaping norms Is it permissible to use a human embryo in stem cell research, or in general as a means for the benefit of others? Acknowledging each embryo as an object of moral concern, Louis M.Guenin argues that it is morally permissible to decline intrauterine transfer of an embryo formed outside the body, and that from this permission and the duty of beneficence, there follows a consensus justification for using donated embryos in service of humanitarian ends. He then proceeds to show how this justification commands assent even within moral and religious views commonly thought to oppose embryo use. Beneath his moral reasoning lies a carefully constructed metaphysical foundation incorporating accounts of the ontology of development, embryos, and species. He also incisively discusses nonreprocloning, reprocloning, ectogenesis, and related scientific frontiers. This compelling philosophical study will interest all concerned to understand virtue and obligation in the relief of suffering.
