Life and Death: Philosophical Essays in Biomedical Ethics

Life and Death: Philosophical Essays in Biomedical Ethics

Dan W. Brock

Cambridge University Press
1993
sidottu
How should modern medicine's dramatic new powers to sustain life be employed? How should limited resources be used to extend and improve the quality of life? In this collection, Dan Brock, a distinguished philosopher and bioethicist and co-author of Deciding for Others (Cambridge, 1989), explores the moral issues raised by new ideals of shared decision making between physicians and patients. The book develops an ethical framework for decisions about life-sustaining treatment and euthanasia, and examines how these life and death decisions are transformed in health policy when the focus shifts from what is best for a patient to what is just for all patients. Professor Brock combines acute philosophical analysis with a deep understanding of the realities of clinical health policy. This is a volume for philosophers concerned with medical ethics, health policy professionals, physicians interested in bioethics, and undergraduate courses in biomedical ethics.

What Sustains Life?

What Sustains Life?

In the sixth century BC, Thales of Miletus, father of the Ionian Enhghtenment, setting aside the mythic views of Homer and Hesiod asked, "What is the world made of?" and thereby became the first physicist.^ He answered that water is the basis of all matter and thereupon became an often cited example of early Greek reasoning gone astray. However, not only did Thales initi­ ate scientific inquiry, but also, with reference to living things, he was substantially correct. Living organisms are composed mostly of water, but the unique role of water in living organisms has been wanting for adequate description. From the perspective of D.H. Lawrence, "Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one part, but there is a third thing that makes it water and nobody knows what that is." From our perspective and as advanced in this volume, the interaction of water with dissimilar groups compris­ ing each protein molecule, the competition for water between these disparate substituents along chain molecules of living organisms, and the freedom of motion that water gives protein chains combine to provide the physical basis of Life.

The Old Leather Man

The Old Leather Man

Dan W. DeLuca

Wesleyan University Press
2008
sidottu
In 1883, wearing a sixty-pound suit sewn from leather boot-tops, a wanderer known only as the Leather Man began to walk a 365 mile loop between the Connecticut and Hudson Rivers that he would complete every 34 days, for almost six years. His circuit took him through at least 41 towns in southwestern Connecticut and southeastern New York, sleeping in caves, accepting food from townspeople, and speaking only in grunts and gestures along the way. What remains of the mysterious Leather Man today are the news clippings and photographs taken by the first-hand witnesses of this captivating individual. The Old Leather Man gathers the best of the early newspaper accounts of the Leather Man, and includes maps of his route, historic photographs of his shelters, the houses he was known to stop at along his way, and of the Leather Man himself. This history tracks the footsteps of the Leather Man and unravels the myths surrounding the man who made Connecticut's caves his home.

Holes in the Tar Paper

Holes in the Tar Paper

Holes in the Tar Paper: A memoir of hits, misses, and ceilings that leak raindrops and hopeDan "Shamrock" Calloway was a self-taught 14-year-old baseball phenom, playing in the Negro League among respected icons of the game. "One of the worst and best days of my life," Dan writes, "was suffering a humiliating loss to an aging Satchel Paige who was pitching for a barnstorming team. After the game, Jackie Robinson came over, put his arm on my shoulder, and said, 'Good game little man. You going to be just fine.'"That one loss lit a fire under Calloway, and his raw talent soon caught the attention of Major League scouts. After high school graduation, he signed with the Pittsburg Pirates. An article in the Pittsburg Courier referred to Calloway as the next Willie Mays. Sadly, during spring training, Dan suffered a career-ending injury which prompted his return home to Riviera Beach Florida.Undaunted, he continued his love for the game. In 1963, as Captain of Special Services, "Shamrock" became the first Black manager of the Army baseball team. For his winning accomplishments, he made All-USAREUR and became a German Sports Hall of Fame inductee. Returning stateside, he became caddy master at the renowned Seminole Golf Club and carried bags for entertainers, public figures, and legends Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus. He also caddied in a foursome that included the late President John F. Kennedy.Mr. Calloway has helped mold the lives of thousands of young people throughout the country, many of whom enjoyed professional sports careers. His mentorships include NFL standouts Lamar Parrish and Otis Anderson to LPGA championship golfer and fashionista Michelle McGann and many in between. The Dan Calloway Recreational Complex, a multi-million-dollar sports and event facility, is further testament to the enormous impact he has had in the community.In Holes in the Tar Paper, Dan Calloway's poignant storytelling weaves together colorful tales of a rebellious early life in segregated Palm Beach County with his distinguished careers in sports, law enforcement, and community advocacy. His stories serve as thoughtful meditations on race, family, courage, and aging. In this candid, revealing memoir, readers get an intimate look into the disciplined mind of a Palm Beach County legend turned hero. He shows readers that despite humble beginnings, you can do whatever you dare to dream.
