Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"The strength of these cases is their occasional complexity and reflection of the reality of day-to-day practice... I highly recommend this book as an aid in the case-based teaching of medical ethics. Ethics committee members, medical students, and house staff of academic institutions should also find these cases useful in their continuing education." -- Bioethics Forum "This book represents a major step forward in the teaching of ethics and as such has the potential to become an indispensable tool for teachers and clinicians alike. A unique feature of this book is that the cases exemplify a sample of ethical dilemmas that were submitted by representatives of hospitals... Kuczewski and Pinkus have produced an indispensable addition to the bioethics literature... a volume that is both undaunting and user friendly. As such it represents a valuable resource and tool for educating front line clinicians, ethics committees and administrators about bioethics." -- Nursing Ethics Read more...
