Do the mechanisms of epigenetics control our genes? Or maybe not? The field of epigenetics investigates the complex molecular interaction of genes and their physical environment. Epigenetic mechanisms can alter our DNA structurally, change gene expression and thus drive cellular development throughout life. They have currently been associated with numerous diseases and are known to shape both appearance and behavioral patterns. Environmental factors as well as lifestyle choices come into play and impart their

ZusammenfassungObwohl als eigener Berufsstand rechtlich abgesichert, steht Pflege nach wie vor im Spannungsfeld zwischen dem Arzt, dem Patienten und dessen Angehörigen. Der Tagungsband setzt sich einerseits mit Pflegebildern und damit verknüpften ethischen Leitideen auseinander, andererseits diskutiert er konkrete Herausforderungen des Pflegealltags. Ein wichtiger Beitrag widmet sich dem der Pflege inhärenten Gewaltpotential. Walter Schaupp war Professor für Moraltheologie an der Kath.-Theol. Fakultät der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz und Wolfgang Kröll Professor für Anästhesiologie und Intensivmedizin an der Medizinischen Universität Graz. Beide beschäftigen sich in ihrer wissenschaftlichen Tätigkeit weiterhin u. a. mit medizinethischen Fragestellungen. Mit Beiträgen von Christina Tax; Sabine Ruppert; Werner Hauser; Monique Weissenberger-Leduc; Hartmann Jörg Hohensinner, Christina Peyker; Angelika Feichtner; Andrea Schober; Renate Skledar, Wolfgang Kröll.AbstractAlthough legally protected as a profession in its own right, nursing is still subject to tensions between doctors, patients and their relatives. This conference volume addresses images of nursing and related ethical principles on the one hand, and discusses the specific challenges of the daily nursing routine on the other. One of its important contributions is devoted to the inherent potential for violence in nursing care. Walter Schaupp was a professor of moral theology at the Faculty of Catholic Theology at Karl Franzens University in Graz, and Wolfgang Kröll was a professor of anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine at the Medical University of Graz. In their academic activities, both continue to deal with questions of medical ethics, among other things. With contributions by Christina Tax; Sabine Ruppert; Werner Hauser; Monique Weissenberger-Leduc; Hartmann Jörg Hohensinner, Christina Peyker; Angelika Feichtner; Andrea Schober; Renate Skledar, Wolfgang Kröll.

How did the Swiss organ donation crisis come about? Despite reforms and advertising campaigns, from the late '80s, Swiss transplant medicine began to lament an increasing mistrust in organ donation and falling donor numbers. Simon Hofmann throws light on the role of doctors, nurses, family members and donees, but also of the media, politicians and the pharmaceutical industry. In doing so, he draws out the relations between hospital practices, public debates, and fictitious narratives about organ smuggling. He tells a complex and contradictory story of modern biomedicine at the edge of life and death, which is shaped as much by economic calculations as by utopian hope and traumatic fears.
