Responsible Reproductive Choice in the 21st Century

Procreation and Abortion

By: Malcolm de Roubaix

This book systematically traces the development, significance, and implications of female reproductive choice. Paramount is the right to safe termination of pregnancy (TOP). In the USA, these rights are under threat after the reversal of Roe v Wade (1973), confirming the eternally contested nature of the pro-life/pro-choice standoff. The approach is unique and from all angles – historical, social, emotional, and legal. South African experience is evaluated against a global backdrop. Arguing from an ethics of responsibility, the book presents a justified, balanced, rational, and moderate position on the moral acceptability of TOP. It proposes that the morality TOP be evaluated by balancing inherent foetal moral significance against contingent potentiality: context and circumstance that may determine foetal development. TOP is a choice a woman faces with each pregnancy. It always has moral implications – exclusive to the life of the woman. So, too, do continued pregnancy and parenthood, but these are of greater magnitude and duration.

A Journey into the Human Experience of Incurable Disease

From Hope to Healing

By: Malcolm de Roubaix

Incurable disease is a natural phenomenon, inherent to the human condition. This book critically investigates the uniquely human experience of and response to illness and treatment, which affects the body, the mind, and the very core of human existence and identity. Uncertainties regarding the outcomes of laboratory and other investigations that aid in the diagnosis and assessment of disease exacerbate the apprehension inherent to the diagnosis of incurable disease. An excessively scientific approach may disregard the suffering patient. The book begins by analysing the nature, meaning and significance of hope in the context of disease, and goes on to reflect on the language of medicine and the role of emotion, ideology and politics in disease treatment and research. The epilogue reflects on healing as distinct from physical cures. Without hope, there is no future; without healing, no holistic recovery. The final chapters are devoted to the end-of-life period of this journey. This book is a revision, extension, and reconceptualization of the original Afrikaans publication Hoop, Heling en Harmonie: Dink Nuut Oor Siekte en Genesing, winner of the 2021 Andrew Murray Prize for Theological Publications.

Sociological, Psychological and Physiological Aspects of Aging

Taking Ownership of the Third Age

By: Malcolm de Roubaix

This book systematically investigates successful aging, defined as the ability to actively participate in societal activity. Proceeding from historical insights and a wide frame of reference, it explores the development of contemporary conceptions of aging; the sociological, psychological, and physiological process of aging; age-related discrimination; financial aspects of aging; the apparent contradiction that there are both affluence and increasing poverty in the aging population; inappropriate sexual expression in the aged; the notion of the Third Age; and the quest to extend human lifespan. A thorough literature review, the author’s personal experience as an older person and as a medical doctor spanning five decades, and the author’s knowledge of ethics have contributed to this informative text aimed at a wide audience: healthcare professionals, caregivers, therapists, ethicists, and every person attending to older persons, professionally and privately.
