Product Information

The ideal of equality constitutes a criterion for assessing current practice through attention to differences among individuals and groups. Inequality occurs when irrelevant differences are invoked in order to secure power or advantages over others. This book examines health care issues from an egalitarian perspective, focusing particularly on those that affect the lives of women and children. These are some of the most hotly debated, controversial, yet genuinely humanitarian issues of our time. They include gender stereotypes in medicine and in adolescent socialization, fertility curtailment and enhancement, coercive treatment during pregnancy, fetal tissue transplantation, decisions regarding newborns, decision-making by minors, the feminization of poverty and its impact on women's and children's health, and the meaning and role of "family" in health care decisions. The book describes a case-based or "feminine" model of reasoning as appropriate to the health care setting, but also as a possible rationale for exploitation of women. Different versions of feminism are clearly explained and specifically related to care-based reasoning. To overcome the pitfalls of paternalism and excessive stress on patient autonomy, a concept of "parentalism" is defended. An egalitarian perspective, the author claims, involves use of one's power to empower others. Because of the timeliness of the topics discussed, and the depth of detail, this book will be necessary reading for all bioethicists, health-care analysts and policy-makers, and women's studies researchers.

"A practical approach to bioethical problem-solving that favors middle level guidelines over abstract principles."-- Anne Donchin, Indiana University, "A strength of this book lies in the avoidance of inflexible rules or principles and the examination of complex issues from a broad range of viewpoints in conjunction with the egalitarian perspective....The author does not reduce complex issues to simplistic solutions but explores them thoroughly....Will be of interest to nurses....to faculty teaching or students in women's health or biomedical ethics courses....or to anyone interested in ethical aspects of health care for women and children....A well-organized and thoughtful exploration of the ethical issues that confront the women and children cared for by obstetric, gynecologic, and neonatal nurses. It would be an excellent reference for educators and practitioners." --Mary K. Shannahan, RN, PhD (School of Nursing, Florida State University, Tallahassee), Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing, "A thorough, well-documented analysis and discussion of a wide range of issues. . . . this is a book with relevance for all practitioners." --Annals of Internal Medicine, "Represents a significant contribution to the literature on medical ethics and maternal and child health care....
