Publisher: Taylor & Francis

Through foundational philosophical, religious, and cultural perspectives,
clinical case studies, and legal analysis, the Annals of Bioethics
documents, reviews, and explores emerging bioethical viewpoints as well as
the state-of-the-art of this global endeavor. Issues will explore, document,
and critically appreciate diverse legal, moral, cultural, and religious
viewpoints representing the various regions of the world, from mainland
China and Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, India and East Asia more generally, to
Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, to South America and
North America. 

Moral perspectives range from Orthodox Christianity, Roman Catholicism, and
contemporary Protestant Christianity, to Orthodox, Conservative and Reformed
Judaism, to Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, and so forth, to
secular liberalism.

The goal of the journal is to document and review the often widely varying
bioethical perspectives reflected throughout the international community's
regions, religions, laws and policies.

The Annals of Bioethics compasses updates in moral theory, normative health
care practice, case studies, public policy, and document and assess legal,
religious and cultural responses to specific aspects of the fast paced
developments in health care and medical technology.

Areas to be explored include such contentious issues as abortion,
euthanasia, prenatal genetic screening, parental discretion regarding
treatment of neonates, genetic engineering, stem cell research, sex
reassignment surgery, reproductive technologies, and cloning, as well as the
permissible foundations and limits of biomedical ethics and health care
policy, among others.
