Description
Bioethics at the Movies explores how popular films engage with fundamental bioethical concepts and concerns. Twenty-one essays use cinematic techniques to demonstrate principles and topics in contemporary medical ethics. The book examines various themes through films such as The Cider House Rules, Citizen Ruth, Gattaca, and I, Robot, as well as others like Dirty Pretty Things, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Million Dollar Baby, Critical Care, Big Fish, and Soylent Green. It also discusses issues related to aging, dying, and death through films such as Extreme Measures. This collection of essays is structured to mirror bioethics and cinema classes, featuring contributions from scholars from around the world.
