Healthcare Funding and Christian Ethics EPUB
by Stephen Duckett
Part of the New Studies in Christian Ethics series
EPUB
Description
Healthcare has an impact on everyone, and healthcare funding decisions shape how and what healthcare is provided.
In this book, Stephen Duckett outlines a Christian, biblically grounded, ethical basis for how decisions about healthcare funding and priority-setting ought to be made.
Taking a cue from the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), Duckett articulates three ethical principles drawn from the story: compassion as a motivator; inclusivity, or social justice as to benefits; and responsible stewardship of the resources required to achieve the goals of treatment and prevention.
These are principles, he argues, that should underpin a Christian ethic of healthcare funding.
Duckett's book is a must for healthcare professionals and theologians struggling with moral questions about rationing in healthcare.
It is also relevant to economists interested in the strengths and weaknesses of the application of their discipline to health policy.
