This volume of primary source documents focuses on leading ethical issues of the last three centuries, specifically related to medicine, bioethics and health.

This volume contains approximately 200 documents, such as speeches, magazine and newspaper articles, memoirs, letters, interviews, novels, essays, and much more. An international group of scholars provided commentary to help place the chosen primary sources in context. The interdisciplinary approach demonstrates the links between the medical and the social sciences.

The volume opens with an extensive chronology. Next are 160 articles, divided into 8 sections:

  • Biomedical Science,

  • Clinical Medicine,

  • War and Medicine,

  • Industry and Medicine,

  • Public Health,

  • Wellness and Health,

  • Alternative Medicine, and

  • Bioethics.

Each selection includes an essay discussing the significance of the document, information on its author, notes providing historical and social context, and a list of further resources.

 

This is also a very useful tool for anyone doing research because it offers original documents along with material that provides social and historical context.
