The Ethics Of Palliative Care, Paperback / softback Book

The Ethics Of Palliative Care Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

As palliative care develops across many of the countries of Europe, we find that it continues to raise important ethical challenges.

Palliative care practice requires ethical sensitivity and understanding.

At the same time the very existence of palliative care calls for ethical explanation.

Ethics and palliative care meet over some vital issues: 'the good death', sedation at the end of life, requests for euthanasia, futile treatment, and the role of research.

Yet palliative care appears uncertain about its goals and there is evidence that its ethical underpinnings are changing.

Likewise, the moral problems of palliative care are only partly served by the four 'principles' of modern bioethics.

This innovative book, with contributions by clinicians, ethicists, philosophers and social scientists, provides the first ever picture of palliative care ethics in the European context.

It will be of interest to those involved in the delivery and management of palliative care services, as well as to students and researchers.
