  abstract: "Despite its venerated traditional place in medicine, the relief of patients' suffering has often taken a back seat in modern biomedical research and treatment. To suffering's many forms--epidemics, premature death, painful disease conditions, and prolonged dying--there often seems to be only one obvious response today: increase research on disease and its causes, and translate this research as soon as possible into effective clinical therapies. Modern bioethics, too, has been slow to come to terms with suffering. Recent literature reveals an increase in the number of conflicting inclinations when it comes to the obligation for modern medicine to alleviate suffering as a goal in itself. Debates about pharmacological human enhancement, new reproductive technologies, prenatal testing, genomic interventions, and end-of life care, including physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia, all revolve around the question of the scope, extent, and limits of our obligation to relieve suffering. The aim of this book is to undertake a new foray into what has been 'foreign territory' for modern bioethics. It is organized so as to examine suffering in its biological, psychological, clinical, and religious dimensions, and in many of the ways its concept and reality influence bioethical decision making." --
