Contents:
Solidarity : a brief history of a concept, and a project -- Solidarity : intellectual background and important themes -- What is solidarity? -- Solidarity - normative approaches -- Solidarity in practice I : governing health databases -- Solidarity in practice II : personalised medicine and health care -- Solidarity and organ donation -- Solidarity with whom? Conclusions and ways forward.
Summary: In times of global economic and political crises, the notion of solidarity is gaining new currency. This book argues that a solidarity-based perspective can help us to find new ways to address pressing problems. Exemplified by three case studies from the field of biomedicine: databases for health and disease research, personalised healthcare, and organ donation, it explores how solidarity can make a difference in how we frame problems, and in the policy solutions that we can offer.
