Klappentext
Zusammenfassung:Environmental bioethics addresses the environmental impact of the health care industry and climate change health hazards as two ethical issues which impact each other. This edited volume examines the theory of environmental bioethics and offers practical examples of practices which make health care more sustainable. Written in an accessible style which allows readers to understand what environmental bioethics is and why it is important, this book presents real-life case studies and thoughtful reflections from leading doctors, clinicians, and ethicists. Contributions to this volume address ethical frameworks for environmental bioethics and delve into the role of doctors in environmentally sustainable health care. Together, they offer hope for a more sustainable health care industry while also recognizing how much more needs to be done. A key resource for scholars, practitioners and researchers of philosophy, environmental studies, public health, and the allied health sciences, this book will also be relevant to international policymakers, especially in countries which have socialized health care (such as those in the EU), who want a rationale for health care decarbonization and practical examples. It will also appeal to educated citizens, particularly those that demand positive environmental change and are interested in the concept of sustainable health care. This book was originally published as a special issue of The New Bioethics
