DescriptionOur understanding of gender carries significant bioethical implications. An errant account of gender-specific disease can lead to misdiagnoses. It can also lead to problems in the structure of health-care delivery. .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. An integrative account of gender-specific disease carries ethical implications because our understanding of gender-specific disease is evaluative, and our evaluations of gender-specific disease entail judgments concerning the praiseworthiness and blameworthiness of a clinical event. While the text mainly focuses on gender-specific diseases, Cutter also includes examples involving men, children, and members of the LGBT community.
