Bioethics Incarnate
This presentation will concern the manner in which the body is becoming
a central aspect of bioethics discourse. Two movements within bioethics
will be examined. The first will be the manner in which bioethicists
have begun to draw upon their personal illness experiences as a source
for new insights into ethical issues. The second will be the way in
which illness communities have developed theoretical positions that call
for new ways of thinking about bioethics issues.
