Synopsis

Embryos & human genomes, palliative care & euthanasia -- these issues, of great media interest, concern specialists as well as ethics committees & decision makers who are attempting to regulate some of these difficult questions by the appropriate legal, ethical & moral actions. Eighty-two cases concerning specific health problems & thirty-eight cases found in daily nursing care are elaborated in this text; in these 120 practical cases the authors evaluate the possible reactions of the health professional in the light of international legislation, ethics, & religious & lay moral principles. This work, which lends itself to reflection, teaching & action, will be of particular interest to all health care personnel, to members of ethics committees, to association personnel, lawyers, philosophers, theologians, sociologists and, of course, to patients. Religion and moral philosophy have played an important role through history in establishing fundamental rules of medical ethics. This book examines modern medical issues from these perspectives.
