Great medical ethics resource! by C. K. Wallace 5 Stars
February 10, 2007
With articles by medical doctors, lawyers, and ethicists, this book thoroughly explores many of the ethical and legal debates in medicine today. Patient autonomy, patient rights, ethical treatment of experimental subjects, palliative care, end-of-life decision making, stem cell research, and bioterrorism are all covered in-depth with arguements from different angles on every topic. I would highly recommend this book for anyone studying ethics, medicine, or law.
