Abstract
The anthology, Feminist Bioethics, edited by Jackie Leach Scully, Laurel E. Baldwin-Ragaven, and Petya Fitzpatrick, examines how feminist bioethics theoretically and methodologically challenges mainstream bioethics, and whether these approaches are useful for exploring difference in other contexts. It offers critical conceptual analyses of "autonomy", "universality", and "trust", and covers topics such as testing for hereditary cancer, prenatal selection for sexual orientation, midwifery, public health, disability, Indigenous research reform in Australia, and China's one child policy.
Highlights
The anthology, Feminist Bioethics, edited by Jackie Leach Scully, Laurel E
Nietszsche can hardly have been considered a feminist in his time, much less a bioethicist, but his 1886 question relating truth and sex-based experience has relevance for bioethical studies today, as demonstrated by the new anthology, Feminist Bioethics, edited by Jackie Leach Scully, Laurel Baldwin-Ragaven, and Petya Fitzpatrick
As the editors put it, “feminist bioethics starts from the premise that dominant ways of doing bioethics are fundamentally gendered and that they contribute to culturally inscribed oppressive practices” (3, original emphasis)
