David DeGrazia est un philosophe moral américain dont le travail se concentre sur la bioéthique et l'éthique animale. Son écriture explore en profondeur les questions complexes de la moralité humaine et de notre relation avec les autres êtres vivants. DeGrazia examine les implications éthiques des avancées scientifiques et remet en question les notions conventionnelles sur le statut moral des animaux. Son approche incite à la réflexion sur nos devoirs et responsabilités envers les non-humains.
Intended for students, scholars, and others interested in bioethics, this volume offers a compelling theory of bioethics while eliciting practical implications for issues including medical assistance-in-dying, the right to health care, abortion, animal research, and the definition of death. This title is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Do animals have moral rights? If so what does this mean? What sorts of mental lives do animals have, and how should we understand their welfare? After addressing these questions, DeGrazia explores their implications in contexts such as food consumption, zoos, and research.
