Moral respect, objectification, and health care / Meredith Celene Schwartz.
Livre
Edité par Palgrave Macmillan. Basingstoke, Hampshire - 2019
This title fills an important gap in existing health care ethics literature by describing an egalitarian conception of moral respect which applies to autonomous and non-autonomous patients alike. It reframes questions about respect, from its target to the role that respect plays in our moral lives. Taking into account various forms of objectification, it suggests that the unique role of moral respect is to recognize a person as more than a mere object; to recognize them as an equally intrinsically valuable being who possesses dignity.
