The International Library of Bioethics comprises volumes with an international and interdisciplinary focus on foundational and applied issues in bioethics. By means of this Series we aim to meet the challenge of our time: how to aim biotechnology to good human and other living things' ends, how to deal with changed values in the areas of religion, society, and culture, and how to formulate a new way of thinking, a new bioethic. This Series was conceived against the background of increasing globalization and interdependency of the world's cultures and governments, with mutual influencing occurring throughout the world in all fields. We welcome book proposals representing the broad interest of this series' interdisciplinary and international focus. We especially encourage proposals that address aspects of changes in biological and medical research and clinical health care, health policy, medical and biotechnology, and other applied ethical areas involving living things, with an emphasis on those interventions and alterations that force us to re-examine foundational issues.
