Author Description

Our Understanding Of Gender Carries Significant Bioethical Implications. An Errant Account Of Gender-specific Disease Can Lead To Overgeneralizations, Undergeneralizations, And Misdiagnoses. It Can Also Lead To Problems In The Structure Of Health-care Delivery, The Creation Of Policy, And The Development Of Clinical Curricula. In This Volume, Cutter Argues That Gender-specific Disease And Related Bioethical Discourses Are Philosophically Integrative. Gender-specific Disease Is Integrative Because The Descriptive Roles Of Gender, Disease, And Their Relation Are Inextricably Tie Background -- Gender-specific Disease: Descriptive Analysis -- Gender-specific Disease: Prescriptive Analysis -- Gender-specific Disease: Contextual Analysis -- An Integrative Approach To Gender-specific Disease -- Rethinking Gender-specific Disease Nomenclature And Taxonomies -- Toward An Integrative Bioethics -- Integrative Bioethics And Assessing Gender-specific Disease -- Implications For Health Care For Men, Children, And Members Of The Lgbt Communities -- Some Lessons And Challenges -- Concluding Reflections.
