The Ethics of Suffering: Modern Law, Philosophy and Medicine
Informed by the ideas of Emmanuel LTvinas, Diamantides examines various situations arising in the context of medical law and medical ethics in England and North America. He examines the suffering involved in such controversial legal cases of euthanasia, withdrawal of life-support from comatose patients, treating elderly patients without consent, and sterilizing incompetent patients. The moral problem with many issues, he contends, lies with the irresponsibility of the relevant decision-maker for the affectivity and ethical violence of their decisions. Annotation c.
