About Medical Ethics
Softcover, 512 pages
This ground-breaking book applies critical thinking tools to medical ethics readings, and explains the dialogue which is formed by the readings in each chapter and clarifies how the various thinkers respond to one another in a common discussion or debate. This book's unified approach offers a critical thinking pedagogy to pull the many readings and ethical perspectives together. Robert E. Card takes an innovative approach to the study of
medical ethics by introducing and applying critical thinking tools
to classic and contemporary medical ethics readings. The book
examines an introduction to moral theory and critical thinking
tools, while readings address the following issues: surrogacy
contracts; abortion; ethical issues at the end of life; genetics and
morality; ethics and HIV/AIDS; the relationship between medical
professionals and patients; research on human and non-human
subjects; allocation of medical resources and justice issues in
health care systems. For individuals interested in medical ethics
and philosophy.
"This is a very interesting and innovative approach...The book includes a limited number of central topics which are treated in greater depth than in the texts currently on the market. That the material is presented in a way that facilitates dialogical and critical philosophical thinking about the issues is a real plus. I greatly prefer this approach ....Card's introductions are better than the introductions I am familiar with in the texts currently on the market." — Louis I. Katzner, Bowling Green State University (information from the publisher) You may also be interested in / The Directory of Healthcare Recruiters / Jump to a List / Health Administration & Leadership / Physician Executive, Medical Staff & Practice Management / Finance, Accounting, Economics, Billing & Reimbursement / Coding for Hospital, Physician & Clinical Services / Law, Malpractice, Ethics, Accreditation & Compliance / Quality Improvement, Outcomes & Customer Service / Risk Management, Security, Error Reduction & Patient Safety / Information Systems, Technology & Medical Records / Clinical Management & Executive Nursing / Behavioral Health, Social Work & Psychiatry Management / Human Resources, Management & Supervision / Directories, Data, Trends & Benchmarks / Software & CD-ROMs / Gift Ideas & Recommended Gifts / Journals, Magazines & Newsletters / Search for Books / Books Index /Go Back to Pages / Home Page / Toolbox for Health Administrators / Bookstore / |
