Samenvatting

In a range of contexts, including human smuggling, employment, and medicine, we often hear claims that a person has exploited someone else's hopes. Despite this, it remains unclear what it means to exploit hope, what is wrong with doing so, and what to do about it. In this book, Jeremy Snyder offers an account of the ethical nature of exploiting hope, understood as taking advantage of a vulnerability in which one is partially entrusted. He then discusses how hope is exploited when individuals seek out unproven medical interventions through clinical trials, stem cell interventions, right to try legislation, and crowdfunding.
