Children and Gender: Ethical issues in clinical management of transgender and gender diverse youth, from early years to late adolescence: Issues in Biomedical Ethics

Autor Simona Giordano
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 iun 2023
Simona Giordano investigates the moral concerns raised by current clinical options available for transgender and gender diverse children and adolescents. From the time young children express gender incongruent preferences and attitudes, up to the time in which older adolescents might apply for medical or surgical treatment, moral questions are likely to be asked: should children be enabled to express themselves freely inside and outside the domestic environment? What are the implications of the choices that parents might make early on? How should clinicians respond to distress around sexual anatomy? Is it ethical to suspend pubertal development? What level of evidence should we seek for medications to be used in paediatric care? What are the risks and benefits of various forms of hormonal treatment? Is it ethical to defer surgical interventions till adulthood? Giordano provides a detailed ethical analysis of these and many other questions that are likely to arise at various stages of a person's life and proposes a moral formula to answer these questions, as well as others, that are likely to arise in a fast-changing landscape. Children and Gender combines a detailed ethical analysis with an accurate clinical description of gender development and available clinical pathways.

Recenzii

This book would be suitable for a wide range of courses, including those in ethics, psychology, sociology, medicine, anthropology, and political science. It is well organized, and the discussion is kept mostly at a level that would be accessible to most undergraduates, though its utility for researchers is high.
