Consideration of women's health leads us to examine the whole scope of the political agenda so that the appropriate links can be made. Concerns with health take us far beyond the health care delivery system, and we must be mindful of the broad perspective necessary to our goal of increasing women's control over matters affecting our health. Feminism is a

RÉSUMÉ Les approches féministes en bioéthique permettent de mettre l'accent sur des réalités souvent laissées pour compte dans les discussions officielles. Une sensibilité particulière aux situations d'oppression et aux inégalités sociales ouvre la voie à des préoccupations qui élargissent les champs d'intérêt de la bioéthique et en questionnent les prises de position tant dans le domaine médical que social. La bioéthique féministe cherche à offrir des alternatives participatives là où règne souvent une hiérarchisation désengageante et dominatrice.

Although a great deal of public attention has recently been focused on issues around assisted death remarkably little of it has come from an explicitly feminist perspective. This is a serious omission at a time when legislators are feeling pressure to review and perhaps revise existing policies on assisted death, and when the policies they contemplate may have a significant negative and disproportionate impact on women. We think it is essential that there be some discussion of these issues from an explicitly feminist perspective in order to ensure that concerns about the oppression of women become part of the public debate in this controversial field.

This paper looks at a range of metaphors used within HIV/AIDS discussions and research in support of the claim that bioethicists should pay serious attention to metaphors. Metaphors shape the ways we think about problems and the types of solutions we investigate. HIV/AIDS is an especially rich field for the investigation of metaphor, since the struggles for dominance among different metaphorical options has been very evident. In the field of medical research as well as in the area of public policy, different metaphors support different strategies and, therefore, the choice of metaphor has ethical significance. I argue that feminists should engage in these debates since they have an interest in the metaphors selected. They can also learn to be more self-conscious in choosing politically liberating metaphors in other bioethics contexts.

In their provocative chapter in this volume,'The Genetic Design of a New Amazon', Claudio Tamburrini and Torbjörn Tännsjö offer a spirited and thorough defense of the provocative proposal that because equality in sports requires that men and women engage in direct competition with each other 'on equal terms in the sports arena', if it turns out to be the case that women are at a physiological disadvantage for many sports, then they should be allowed access to genetic enhancement technologies to facilitate their equal opportunity ...
