The aim of this work is to determine what are dilemmas, what are dilemmas in bioethics, what are the subjects common to all dilemmas and classify dilemmas in bioethics dividing them into categories to diminish the fuzziness around these polemical discussions. I plan to build a system that could help us, ethicists, recognize what issues we are dealing with and that would probably would be a first step towards the resolution of dilemmas in bioethics. The scope of the work will be: this introduction, a chapter about dilemmas divided into simplified dilemmas, amplified dilemmas and moral mathematics and bioethical dilemmas: why solve them, a chapter about problems involving all dilemmas: the matter of time and well-being and suffering, a chapter on a proposal on bioethical dilemmas: identity dilemmas, self-consciousness dilemmas, future suffering dilemmas and freedom dilemmas and the conclusion. | |
