This unique combination of text, reader, and casebook provides coverage of the fundamental topics in current medical ethics and familiarizes the reader with the basic moral and social issues confronting the medical profession today.
I really enjoyed reading this book except that the editing was HORRIBLE.The book was obviously edited by spell checker but not reread by a human. It made it very difficult when reading to suddenly have a word make no sense to the context and have to reread looking for a similar sounding word. For example, "It may contain sequences that in the "fixture" we will realize are crucially important."(should have been future)
Okay, I read most of this. It's an excellent text on bioethics. Although not from a distinctly Christian worldview, I am particularly found of how the author tries to present all sides of a particular issue and has excellent case studies.
I bought this book for my bioethics class and it is so interesting. It is filled with interesting ideas and case studies, even though it is a text book, I just can't put it down!
