Book Synopsis Ovum Humanum by : Landrum Brewer Shettles
Download or read book Ovum Humanum written by Landrum Brewer Shettles. This book was released on 1960. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ovum humanum, while in essence an atlas of photographs of egg cells, also includes brief textual descriptions of Shettles’ experience compiling his photos and the methods he used. Shettles describes the many late nights he spent in the dark room of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital over a period of six years photographing eggs, obtained from his various patients at Columbia Presbyterian, at different stages of development both prior to as well as after fertilization. Shettles also describes the tools he used to capture these photographs, which included a Zeiss phase contrast microscope to which he attached a Leica camera. This setup provided unparalleled viewing and photographic documentation of the egg cells that Shettles compiled for his book. Shettles reports that during the six years he took photographs of over one thousand human egg cells in order to create a comprehensive compilation of these photographs. Once published, many of the book’s readers viewed the photographs as equally significant as both scientific reference material and artwork. Many of the photos contain shapes and images that would later be compared to photographs of outer space as well as more familiar images like animals and faces.

Book Synopsis To Live and to Die: When, Why, and How by : R.H. Williams
Download or read book To Live and to Die: When, Why, and How written by R.H. Williams. This book was released on 2012-12-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960's marked changes occurred throughout the world in philosophies and policies related to man's role in life. These changes, prompted predominantly by extensive increases in knowledge and popula tion density, have produced increased pleasures as well as problems. The rising number of people and improved methods of communication and transportation have caused more relationships among people, with their pleasures, competitions, jealousies, conflicts of interest, oppressions, and crimes. Large assortments of drugs have been developed and are easily obtained. There are drugs to speed us up, slow us down, make us sleep, change our perspectives on life, promote propagation of life or prevent it, prolong life or terminate it, and modify the course of life in many ways. Also, numerous mechanical devices have been developed that influence the propagation of life, the termination of life, and the manner in which we live. Many people have changed their overall goals in life, and in par ticular have experienced major changes in attitudes and policies applying to sexual activity, marriage, birth control, abortion, welfare, children, old people, criminals, economics, social status, careers, education, euthanasia, and suicide. There also has been marked enlightenment concerning the effect of the chemical and physical status of the brain upon normal and abnormal thinking and behavior.

Book Synopsis Personhood and Health Care by : David C. Thomasma
Download or read book Personhood and Health Care written by David C. Thomasma. This book was released on 2013-04-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PERSONHOOD AND HEALTH CARE This book arose as a result of a pre-conference devoted to the topic held June 28, 1999 in Paris, France. The pre-conference preceded the Annual Congress of the International Academy ofLaw and Mental Health. Other chapters were solicited after the conference in order to more completely explore the relation of personhood to health care. The pre conference was held in honor of Yves Pelicier who led so many of our French colleagues in medicine, philosophy, and ethics as Christian Herve notes in his Tribute. As health care is aimed at healing persons, it is important to realize how difficult it is to construct a theory of personhood for health care, and thus, a theory of how healing in health care comes about or ought to occur. The book is divided into four parts, Concepts of the Person, Theories of Personhood in Relation to Health Care and Bioethics, Person and Identity, and Personhood and Hs Relations. Each section explores a critical arena in constructing the relation of personhood to health care. Although no exploration ofthis nature can be exhaustive, every effort was made to present both conflicting and complementary views of personhood from within similar and different philosophical and religious traditions. PART ONE: CONCEPTS OF THE PERSON Tracing the origins of the concept of person from antiquity through present day, Jean Delemeau provides an historical sketch of the development of a wide range of meanings.
