Description

Who should have access to assisted reproductive technologies?

Which one of many seriously ill patients should be offered the next available transplant organ?

When may a surrogate decision maker decide to withdraw life-prolonging measures from an unconscious patient?

Questions like these feature prominently in the field of health care ethics and in the education of health care professionals.

This book provides a concise introduction to the major concepts, principles and issues in health care ethics, using case studies throughout to illustrate and analyse challenging ethical issues in contemporary health care.

Topics range widely, from confidentiality and truthfulness to end-of-life care and research on human subjects.

Ethics and Health Care will be a vital resource for students of applied ethics, bioethics, professional ethics, health law and medical sociology, as well as students of medicine, nursing and other health care professions.
