The case still remains controversial, and the treatment consisting of growth attenuation, hysterectomy, appendectomy and breast buds removal has both its opponents and proponents. In our paper we have a closer look at some arguments important for ethical analysis of Ashley’s case and treatment. First, for a better understanding of the case we present her medical condition. Secondly, we refer to the classification of therapeutic versus non-therapeutic medical procedures. Thirdly, we examine the issue of surrogate decisions for incompetent patients. Finally, we analyze two vital ethical arguments: a) the right to the open future and b) the criterion of best-interest.","PeriodicalId":37710,"journal":{"name":"Analiza i Egzystencja","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67976861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is ambivalent, perhaps even paradoxical. Postphenomenological approach to the problem of corporeality seems somewhat different, which is most pointedly evidenced by Henri Maldiney’s reflections, or the work of Jean-François Lyotard, on the borderline of phenomenology. They perceive subjectivity as sensual and affective, haunted by the sensual fact and, paradoxically, formed in an act tantamount to its destruction and abolition. On the other hand, the body also turns out to be invisible and filled with symbolism, it refers to the metaphysical dimension, turning us towards incarnation in the Christian sense, which is superbly illustrated in the writings of Michel Henry and Jean-Luc Marion, but also Jean-Louis Chrétien. As such, postphenomenology seems a perfectly suit able method for describing the work of artists who, for instance, as Marion Laval-Jeantet, injected herself horse blood plasma or make bread containing fragments of their own DNA with a view to ritually consuming it, as Karolina Żyniewicz did.","PeriodicalId":37710,"journal":{"name":"Analiza i Egzystencja","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67976872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jego celem jest udowodnienie, ze argumenty sugerujące negatywną ocene tego zjawiska są nieuzasadnione, a estetyzacja powinna byc traktowana raczej jako odslaniający wyjątkowo korzystne perspektywy rezultat powszechnego dobrobytu, anizeli problem grozący degeneracją czy upadkiem wartości. W pierwszej cześci tekstu przedstawiona zostaje definicja omawianego procesu oraz kilka przykladow jego zachodzenia. Nastepnie przeprowadzona zostaje analiza wyroznionych przez Welsch’a negatywnych skutkow jego funkcjonowania oraz obaw przed jego postepującym rozwojem. Argumentacja oparta na piramidzie potrzeb Maslowa uwidacznia, iz troska o wartości estetyczne jest mozliwa dopiero w sytuacji zaspokojenia potrzeb nizszych, przez co świadczy o wysokim poziomie dobrobytu, a nie zalamaniu wartości, na ktory wskazuje Welsch. Faktyczną konsekwencją omawianego procesu okazuje sie lepsze rozumienie struktury rzeczywistości, mozliwe do uzyskania dzieki procesowi estetyzacji, ktory uzmyslawia niemalze nieograniczoną podatnośc świata na jego przeksztalcanie i modelowanie, jednocześnie zwiekszając mozliwości oddzialywania na niego poprzez ludzką wole.
