The multiple emergencies of global heating require bioethicists to embrace the dormant, comprehensive bioethics legacy of Van Rensselaer Potter, moving beyond the current narrower focus of the field on medicine and health care. We recommend readings that expand the core literature of bioethics to address key environmental issues. These are Jessica Pierce and Andrew Jameton's The Ethics of Environmentally Responsible Health Care; Dale Jamieson's Reason in a Dark Time; and David Wallace-Well's The Uninhabitable Earth. Because efforts to mitigate climate disasters are likely to be only partially successful, we also recommend the teachings of late Roman Stoicism and core texts of Buddhism, which provide ethical wisdom likely to be needed in the multiple crises of the Anthropocene.
全球变暖带来的多重紧急情况要求生命伦理学家们接受范·伦塞勒·波特(Van Rensselaer Potter)那休眠的、全面的生命伦理学遗产,超越该领域目前对医学和医疗保健的更狭隘关注。我们推荐的读物扩展了生命伦理学的核心文献,以解决关键的环境问题。这些读物包括杰西卡·皮尔斯(Jessica Pierce)和安德鲁·贾梅森(Andrew Jameton)的《对环境负责的医疗保健的伦理》(The Ethics of Environmentally Responsible Health Care);戴尔·贾米森(Dale Jamieson)的《黑暗时代的理智》(Reason in a Dark Time);以及大卫·华莱士-威尔(David Wallace-Wells)的《不适宜居住的地球》(The Uninhabitable Earth)。由于缓解气候灾难的努力可能只会部分成功,我们还推荐晚期罗马斯多葛主义和佛教核心文本的教义,这些教义为人类世的多重危机提供了可能需要的伦理智慧。
