Mort cérébrale et mort de l’esprit
De tout temps, les hommes se sont interrogés et ont spéculé sur l’existence ou non d’une « vie après la mort ». Par contre, les signes concrets de la mort elle-même étaient censés aller de soi (si l’on met de côté les angoisses récurrentes suscitées par le risque d’être enterré vivant). À notre époque, les progrès de la médecine ont donné une tournure inédite à cette question. En effet, les progrès en matière de réanimation et de transplantation …
L’assistance au suicide en Suisse
Dans plusieurs pays, des législations visant à autoriser certaines formes d’euthanasie active ou d’aide au suicide ont été adoptées. Or l’assistance altruiste au suicide est légale en Suisse depuis fort longtemps. Cette attitude libérale a des racines historiques intéressantes, en partie antérieures à la discussion « moderne » centrée sur l’autonomie de la personne face à la mort. Pourtant, l’analyse précise du paysage normatif qui encadre l’assi…

Thanks to recent progress in biotechnology, surrogacy, transplantation of organs and tissues, blood products or stem-cell and gamete banks are now widely used throughout the world. These techniques improve the health and well-being of some human beings using products or functions that come from the body of others. Growth in demand and absence of an appropriate international legal framework have led to the development of a lucrative global trade i…
He found me very well; for me, I was still feeling sick
It is commonplace today to deplore the dissatisfaction of patients with the physician-patient relationship. Furthermore, historical investigation shows that this problem is not really new. We investigated an important source of patients' views in the 18th century, namely the letters of patients received by the famous Swiss physician, Samuel Tissot, and noted remarkably similar feelings of frustration. Yet the medical paradigms of today and of Tis…
Germ-Line Angst and Uncertain Futures
Andrea Bonnicksen's contribution (1994) to the political debate on human germ-line gene therapy contains important words of caution against overhasty, worldwide, anticipatory regulation of this stillfuturistic practice and argues persuasively that individual nations provide a more appropria te forum for debate and regulation at the present time. However, some will probably wonder whether germ-line therapy is a debatable issue at all. While many…
