About the Author:
James F. Childress, University of Virginia.
Review:
"A very good book indeed: there is scarcely an issue anyone has thought to raise about the topic which Childress fails to treat with sensitivity and good judgment....The best existing treatment of the subject."--Ethics
"An important work....Once read, [it] becomes indispensable to one's subsequent formulations of the subject."--The New England Journal of Medicine
"A clear, scholarly and balanced analysis....This is a book I can recommend to physicians, ethicists, students of both fields, and to those most affected--the patients themselves."--Edmund D. Pellegrino, Georgetown University Medical Center
"Readable, reasoned, and balanced....Childress has provided us with a comprehensive work which helps us confront this question."--Law, Medicine and Health Care
"In a time of heightened consumer consciousness in which at least some are demanding a larger role in their own care, this is a timely volume for both the consumers and the providers of health care." --Journal of Religious Studies
