Abstract

Dieser Band des "Jahrbuchs für Recht und Ethik" widmet sich schwerpunktmäßig dem Thema "Bioethik und Medizinrecht". Die Beiträge stammen von Biologen, Juristen, Medizinethikern, Medizinern, Ökonomen, Philosophen, Politologen und Verhaltensforschern aus Chile, Deutschland, Israel, Japan, Österreich, Spanien und den Vereinigten Staaten. Obwohl jeder Band des "JRE" ein ausgewähltes Thema betont, sollen andere Fragestellungen, die Themen aus dem Bereich von Recht und Ethik betreffen, nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Dementsprechend enthält dieser Band auch einige Artikel, die sich dem Feld der normativen Ethik widmen.This volume of the "Annual Review of Law and Ethics" is primarily devoted to the topic "Bioethics and the Law". It includes the contributions of behavioral scientists, biologists, economists, lawyers, medical ethicists, physicians, philosophers and political scientists from the nations of Austria, Chile, Germany, Israel, Japan, Spain and the United States. Although each volume of the "Annual Review" emphasizes one particular topic, it does not exclude other areas of interest within the general framework of law and ethics. Accordingly, this volume also includes articles generally addressing issues of normative ethics.
