Book description

Why has autonomy been a leading idea in philosophical writing on bioethics, and why has trust been marginal? In this important book, Onora O'Neill suggests that the conceptions of individual autonomy so widely relied on in bioethics are philosophically and ethically inadequate, and that they undermine rather than support relations of trust. She shows how Kant's non-individualistic view of autonomy provides a stronger basis for an approach to medicine, science and biotechnology, and does not marginalize untrustworthiness, while also explaining why trustworthy individuals and institutions are often undeservingly mistrusted. Her arguments are illustrated with issues raised by practices such as the use of genetic information by the police or insurers, research using human tissues, uses of new reproductive technologies, and media practices for reporting on medicine, science and technology. Autonomy and Trust in Bioethics will appeal to a wide range of readers in ethics, bioethics and related disciplines.

Reviews

‘Amid so much hype and yammer in the suddenly fashionable field of bioethics, it is good to turn to a book by a professional philosopher with wide experience of how biomedical regulation works in practice … It should be read by everyone concerned with this topic.’

Source: The Economist

‘It is the mark of a truly good book that it stimulates criticism as well as agreement and praise … The book is a notable contribution to understanding of the most important task facing those responsible for the NHS - to maintain trust where is exists (as it does in most cases) or to restore trust where it has lapsed.’

Douglas Black Source: Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

‘They are alike … not only in dealing with the topic of trust, but also in their sharp intelligence, their refusal to accept received opinion without examination and their humane common sense. The combination of serious philosophical discussion with journalistic presentational skills has been brought to a fine art by O’Neill … if anything is transparent, it is the truthfulness and good sense of this most admirable lecturer’

Baroness Warnock Source: The Times Higher Education Supplement

'This is a philosopher's account of what is a far more complex subject than may at first appear. Fortunately Onora O'Neill is one of the few philosophers who can write with the clarity to make her arguments very accessible, which will make this book particularly appealing to a much wider audience than philosophers … Thought provoking and stimulating.'

Source: Bulletin of Medical Ethics

'The book is marked throughout by Professor O'Neill's customary mixture of clarity, forthrightness and common sense, and by an impressive determination to relate careful philosophy to actual practice and experience … Autonomy and Trust in Bioethics provides a rich and stimulating basis for further debate in this area, and broadens the focus of discussion in a stimulating way. Even if non-Kantians remain unpersuaded by some of the philosophical moves, they will appreciate the lucidity, learning and good sense of this interesting book.'
