Download or read book The Ethics of Gender-specific Disease written by Mary Ann Gardell Cutter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 tied to their prescriptive roles within frames of reference. While the text mainly focuses on gender-specific diseases that affect women, Cutter also includes examples involving men, children, and members of the LGBT community.
