— Beauchamp and Childress's famous biomedical ethics textbook "Principles of Biomedical Ethics" has had a significant impact on the education of ethics for those who work in medicine. Chapter 4 "Respect for Autonomy" is the central focus of this video. In this lecture, I explain the major moves in the text, discussing theories of autonomy (and critiques of alternate views), the criteria and concepts involved in competence for making an informed consent, such as having sufficient disclosure, adequate understanding, and a meaningful sense of being voluntary. What is the basis for why consent even matters, if professionals know what is best? What makes someone's decision to accept treatment a bone fide case of informed consent? What happens if we introduce a surrogate to make the decision on someone's behalf? http://www.jonathanvajda.com Email: [email protected] for questions, topic recommendations, interviews, direct instruction arrangements, etc. Twitter: @jonathanvajda If you want to say thanks with a tip or gift (say, buy me coffee?), see my support landing page: https://jonathanvajda.com/support/ 00:00 - Overview and the shift toward respect for autonomy 08:25 - Theories of autonomy and some objections 24:24 - Respecting autonomy and individual rights (both positive and negative rights) 37:21 - Obtaining consent 40:51 - Competence - the concept, the criteria, and the check 49:36 - The essentials of informed consent 53:30 - The standards of adequate disclosure 1:15:29 - Forms of influence, legitimate and coercive
— This edition represents a thorough-going revision of what has become a classic text in biomedical ethics. Major structural changes mark the revision. The authors have added a new concluding chapter on methods that, along with its companion chapter on moral theory, emphasizes convergence across theories, coherence in moral justification, and the common morality. They have simplified the opening chapter on moral norms which introduces the framework of prima facie moral principles and ways to specify and balance them. Together with the shift of advanced material on theory to the back of the book, this heavily revised introductory chapter will make it easier for the wide range of students entering bioethics courses to use this text. Another important change is the increased emphasis on character and moral agency, drawing the distinction between agents and actions. The sections on truth telling, disclosure of bad news, privacy, conflicts of interest, and research on human subjects have also been throughly reworked. The four core chapters on principles (respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice) and the chapter on professional-patient relationships retain their familiar structure, but the authors have completely updated their content to reflect developments in philosophical analysis as well as in research, medicine, and health care. Throughout, they have used a number of actual cases to illuminate and to test their theory, method, and framework of principles.

— The first edition of The Human Use of Animals offered the first set of case studies on animal use through sixteen original, previously unpublished essays. Whereas the first edition strongly emphasized research issues, the second edition now adds material on conversation concerns and the use of animals in entertainment, specifically cases on endangered species, zoos, circuses, and 'sport' fighting. As with the first edition, the cases are presented in an objective and balanced way that will spark reasoned debate about moral issues. Extensively revised and updated, the second edition maintains a commitment to a discussion of ethical reflection and analysis concerning human interactions with animals.
— For forty years, successive editions of Ethical Theory and Business have helped to define the field of business ethics. The 10th edition reflects the current, multidisciplinary nature of the field by explicitly embracing a variety of perspectives on business ethics, including philosophy, management, and legal studies. Chapters integrate theoretical readings, case studies, and summaries of key legal cases to guide students to a rich understanding of business ethics, corporate responsibility, and sustainability. The 10th edition has been entirely updated, ensuring that students are exposed to key ethical questions in the current business environment. New chapters cover the ethics of IT, ethical markets, and ethical management and leadership. Coverage includes climate change, sustainability, international business ethics, sexual harassment, diversity, and LGBTQ discrimination. New case studies draw students directly into recent business ethics controversies, such as sexual harassment at Fox News, consumer fraud at Wells Fargo, and business practices at Uber.

— What it is to be a person is a principal topic of metaphysics. Ideally, a pure metaphysical theory expresses a moral detached interest in how to distinguish persons from nonpersons. However, the metaphysics of persons has often been put to work to defend a preferred...
