From the Back Cover:

The second edition of Medical Ethics introduces readers to key issues that arise within the world of bioethics, providing a strong theoretical foundation to the subject. This new edition has been greatly revised and updated; half of the selections are new to this volume, including two brand new essays on genetic enhancement, a new section on gender, race and culture, and a new essay on the Healthcare Affordability act. The volume is now introduced with an original discussion on ethical decision making.

This accessible introduction provides clear insights into paternalism and autonomy; privacy and confidentiality; informed consent; gender, culture and race; euthanasia; abortion; genetic enhancement; and healthcare policy. An innovative section on health provides a strong theoretical context for the succeeding essays. Pedagogical features are included throughout, comprising case studies depicting situations related to topics discussed in the chapter's readings and instructions on how to work-up cases into argumentative essays. A short story on organ allocation has been added, providing a vivid and lively approach for students. Many of the cases have been updated to reflect current problems, ensuring students are introduced to the very latest developments.
