Über dieses Produkt
Product Information
The bioethical debates between critics and enthusiasts about using technologies to shape our selves are sometimes acrimonious. Candidly drawing on his participation in these debates, Erik Parens offers a habit of thinking about the questions at their center, which benefits from, rather than denies, the insights on both sides.

Reviews
"Chapter 6 alone is worth the price of the book. To look at enhancement technologies through Parens's binoculars is to bring them into lucid ethical focus. At the same time one sees a charming, gentle, and deeply knowledgeable man reaching out reconciling hands to fit together the insights from both critics and enthusiasts." --Hilde Lindemann, Michigan State University "This is a book of remarkable clarity and balance; it illuminates important issues in bioethics with a substantial degree of care and respect for opposing perspectives in difficult, ongoing debates about the body, identity, disability and technology. Erik Parens' determined vision of a middle-ground in these debates challenges the 'knockers' and the 'boosters' to abandon their respective megaphones and discover more of what they might have in common. This is an essential book especially for those starting out in bioethics; would that there were more books that gave students a balanced perspective on 'hot' issues from the start." --Ilina Singh, Kings College London "This is a wise and beautifully written book, which heralds the next wave in the bioethical analysis of the 'enhancement' uses of biomedical technologies and body-shaping surgeries. Parens' 'binocular' habit of thinking is just what the field needs now, and applies well beyond the specific issues addressed in this volume." --Eric Juengst, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill "In this cogent and lucidly written work, Parens provides a clear-headed and open-hearted approach to dealing with the vexing questions raised by enhancement technologies. The use of technologies by which human try to shape their bodies and their destinies must be viewed, he persuades us, by using two lenses at once-an approach that achieves depth of intellectual vision by benefitting from the insights of critics and enthusiasts alike. In the end, we have to take a stance, but we come to it not through an agonistic 'win the argument' approach, but through a careful, empathetic understanding of both positions. This judicious approach is so desperately needed in a combative discipline like philosophy and its offspring bioethics and still more a world filled with conflict and strife--where too many think only through one self-righteous and dogmatic lens." --Eva Feder Kittay, Stony Brook University, "Chapter 6 alone is worth the price of the book.

The book covers wide ground, and will help develop a habit of thinking that approaches ethical dilemmas with openness and humility. Parens offers a two-step approach to achieve informed consent: beginning with "a hermeneutics of suspicion", oscillating between different lenses, but ending up in a decision. Unlike many "point scoring" bioethicists, Parens balances reason with feelings and intuitions, reflecting a deep commitment to the promotion of human fl ourishing. Parens argues that what he calls "High Reason" is not the answer: instead, we need to help people think through issues but then take them at their word. His book is very personal, at times almost poetic; I think it is destined to become a classic." -- Tom Shakespeare, The Lancet, "This is a wise and beautifully written book, which heralds the next wave in the bioethical analysis of the 'enhancement' uses of biomedical technologies and body-shaping surgeries. Parens' 'binocular' habit of thinking is just what the field needs now, and applies well beyond the specific issues addressed in this volume." --Eric Juengst, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill "In this cogent and lucidly written work, Parens provides a clear-headed and open-hearted approach to dealing with the vexing questions raised by enhancement technologies.
