Toward an Aesthetic Medicine: Developing a Core Medical Humanities Undergraduate Curriculum

The Journal of Medical Humanities, Nov 10, 2006

The medical humanities may be reformulated as process and perspective, rather than content, where the curriculum is viewed as an aesthetic text and learning as aesthetic and ethical identity formation. This article suggests that a &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;humanities&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; perspective may be inherent to the life sciences required for study of medicine. The medical humanities emerge as a revelation of value inherent to an aesthetic medicine taught and learned imaginatively.

Enhancing Evolution, Transcending Human Nature

While discussing human dignity and rights, what is the nature of the being that we have in mind? Anthropology seeks to address the ancient foundational question of philosophy: "Who are we?" With all its variety, the human species, at the current point in time, is usually considered to be stable. It consists of a gene pool that produces phenotypes that vary but is not moving in one specific direction. Biomedical interventions into human bodies and minds are assessed on the basis of this common humanity-however differently abled individuals can be perceived among them.

Chapter 4. Fritz Jahr and global bioethics analyses and reflections from the perspective of islamic tradition

Journal international de bioéthique et d'éthique des sciences, 2016

Analyses et reflexions de la perspective de la tradition islamiqueLa maxime de Fritz Jahr selon laquelle il faut « Respecter tout etre vivant comme une fin en soi et le traiter, si possible, en tant que telle », fut publiee pour la premiere fois dans un essai de 1927 dans lequel il a egalement introduit le terme « bioethique ». Cette maxime est analysee ici de la perspective de la tradition islamique. La conception islamique d’humain, d’animal et de plante est presentee et les normes centrales appliquees au traitement des animaux et des plantes sont examinees du point de vue de leurs implications pratiques. Finalement, l’applicabilite de la notion normative de Jahr de « fin en soi » peut etre appliquee au traitement des animaux et des plantes dans le contexte de la bioethique islamique. Cette discussion tente de repondre a la question quant a savoir si une bioethique globale peut etre developpee.

Chapter 10: The first global map of the distribution of human diseases: Friedrich Schnurrer's ‘Charte über die geographische Ausbreitung der Krankheiten’ (1827)

By means of these, a coherent, geographical distribution of physical parameters could be visualized. Leonhard Ludwig Finke's (1747-1837) early, three-volume Versuch einer allgemeinen medicinisch-praktischen Geographie (Essay on General Medico-Practical Geography) was not accompanied by any cartographic representations (although he may have attempted such a map).2 Yet disease maps were published before 1830, the year commonly associated with the emergence of a widespread interest in medical geography, when a cholera epidemic threatened Europe.3 In 1827, the Swabian physician Friedrich Schnurrer (1784-1833), Amtsarzt (public health officer) in Vaihingen on the Enz (near Stuttgart), presented what is believed to be the first global 'Charte iiber die geographische Ausbreitung der Krankheiten' (Map of the geographical Distribution of Diseases).4 The map is here interpreted as

Age and Changing Values: What Does an Aging Body Tell Us? Approaches from Medical Ethics and Sociology of the Body

Already, the conditions of modern medicine have postponed the period of life when we are considered to be elderly, but even after reaching a generally agreed “old age”, the perception of what that means to the individual subject also changes (Sweiry & Willitts 2012). Developments such as ever-later pregnancies (RCOG 2009) or pharmaceutical support for male sexual functions, leading to aspirations of youthful performance (Gross & Blundo 2015), are indeed changing perceptions of the period of old age. Further critical scrutiny of the psychosocial and ethical implications of bodily modifications in redefining old age is necessary. If we suspect there to be ethical concerns (Bostrom 2008), might this make practices such as aesthetic surgery a partner in crime in this process? What other contributors are pushing these boundaries forward? Dreams of bodily enhancement are already challengin...

The Nature of the Soul and the Passage of Blood through the Lungs. Galen, Ibn al-Nafīs, Servetus, İtaki, ‘Aṭṭār

While actual links between the european successors of Ibn al-nafīs, such as Miguel servet(o) (Michael servetus) or realdo Colombo (realdus Columbus) remain speculative, it is becoming increasingly clear that, in the Islamic world, the work of the former was by no means lost: it continued to be cited in arabic and Turkish sources well into the nineteenth century by authors such as Şemsettin İtaki (1632) and Ḥasan al-'aṭṭār (1813).
