Description

This book addresses the problem of how to make democratically-legitimate public policy on issues of contentious bioethical debate.

It focuses on ethical contests about research and their legitimate resolution, while addressing questions of political legitimacy.

How should states make public policy on issues where there is ethical disagreement, not only about appropriate outcomes, but even what values are at stake?

What constitutes justified, democratic policy in such conflicted domains?

Case studies from Canada and Australia demonstrate that two countries sharing historical and institutional characteristics can reach different policy responses. This book is of interest to policymakers, bioethicists, and philosophers, and will deepen our understanding of the interactions between large-scale socio-political forces and detailed policy problems in bioethics. asdf
