The Blackwell Guide to Medical Ethics is a guide to the complex literature written on the increasingly dense topic of ethics in relation to the new technologies of medicine.
- Examines the key ethical issues and debates which have resulted from the rapid advances in biomedical technology
- Brings together the leading scholars from a wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, medicine, theology and law, to discuss these issues
- Tackles such topics as ending life, patient choice, selling body parts, resourcing and confidentiality
- Organized with a coherent structure that differentiates between the decisions of individuals and those of social policy.
"This volume...offers a rich array of perspectives from which to view the ethics of medicine. With twenty-three articles and a good deal of references for further reading, it will be a helpful tool for navigating the complex literature on the key issues in medical ethics." (Ethical Perspectives)
