And, if they do, should they? Are doctors and researchers taking environmental perspectives into account when dealing with patients? If so, is it done effectively and properly? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAfrican American Bioethics\u003c\/i\u003e, Lawrence J. Prograis Jr. and Edmund D. Pellegrino bring together medical practitioners, researchers, and theorists to assess one fundamental question: Is there a distinctive African American bioethics? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's contributors resoundingly answer yes-yet their responses vary. They discuss the continuing African American experience with bioethics in the context of religion and tradition, work, health, and U.S. society at large-finding enough commonality to craft a deep and compelling case for locating a black bioethical framework within the broader practice, yet recognizing profound nuances within that framework. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a more recent addition to the study of bioethics, cultural considerations have been playing catch-up for nearly two decades. \u003ci\u003eAfrican American Bioethics\u003c\/i\u003e does much to advance the field by exploring how medicine and ethics accommodate differing cultural and racial norms, suggesting profound implications for growing minority groups in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence J.
