Embodiment, Morality and Medicine deals with the relevance of `embodiment' to bioethics, considering both the historical development and contemporary perspectives on the mind--body relation. The emphasis of all authors is on the importance of the body in defining personal identity as well as on the role of social context in shaping experience of the body. Among the perspectives considered are Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, and African-American. Feminist concerns are important throughout.

Which Selves? Appeals to Embodiment in Assessments of Reproductive Technology.- Embodiment and Organ Transplants: On Giving and Taking Our Bodies More Seriously.- African Americans and Organ Donation: Reflections on Religion, Ethics and Embodiment.- The “Fridge”: Health Care and the Disembodiment of Women.- Marks of the Body: Embodiment and Diminishment.- The Body Suffering: Illness and Disability.- “Embodiment” and Moral Critique: A Christian Social Perspective.- Notes on Contributors.
