This book shows the need for handling complex global problems - public health issues regarding vaccination, climate change and environmental ethics, embryo adoption, or surrogate motherhood -through a global bioethical framework. The ethical issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide stress once more that bioethical issues have no national or regional boundaries and must addressed on a global scale. The challenges faced by global bioethics and addressed in this book include culture, multi-pluralism, inadequate awareness, inadequate funds, and limited opportunities to educate global bioethics, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The global bioethical frameworks that are used in the analyses and discussions in this book are the universal frameworks such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights, and other international documents as well as respective national constitutions to argue for the right to human dignity, right to health and other fundamental freedoms. The book contains contributions from authors from such diverse countries as Kenya, Uganda, and Nigeria and is of interest to bioethics and health workers with an interest in global bioethics.
