{"product_id":"bioethics-in-action-franzoise-baylis-9781107120891","title":"Bioethics in Action","description":"Speaking from and to the growing movement among academics to become involved with 'socially-engaged' work, this volume presents first-person case studies of attempts to fix serious ethical problems in medical practice and research. It highlights the critical difference between the pundit approach to bioethics and the interventional approach - the talkers and the doers - and points to how abused and damaged the doers often end up. Chapters cover a diverse set of topics, including the troubling influence of for-profit businesses on public health policy, the politics of exposing histories of unjust medical research, the challenges of patient rights' work in sexuality and reproduction, collaborations between NGOs and academics, methods for changing entrenched yet harmful medical practices, engaging public policy through educating governmental leaders, and whistleblowing. The trending interest in the interplay of academia and advocacy and the growing importance of 'socially-engaged' work by academics make this a timely and much-needed resource.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Françoise Baylis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107120896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107120891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 6.10w x 0.57d","brand":"Françoise Baylis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47305086271743,"sku":"9781107120891","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_884d216a-4166-4924-8791-855b64978f5b.jpg?v=1758829928","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bioethics-in-action-franzoise-baylis-9781107120891","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
