520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Here are clear, concise, systematic explanations of the principles governing American health care ethics and the problems encountered when applying them in controversial areas. In addition to treating standard topics such as confidentiality, death and dying, or new methods of reproduction, Health Care Ethics covers areas of recent concern, for example: the ethics of self-policing, the ethics of testing, a problem for technicians as well as doctors and nurses, the ethics of the consumer of research, and the ethical problems of the patient. The authors describe all principles and subprinciples clearly and use them consistently from chapter to chapter, gradually building on the reader's knowledge and progressing from simple to more complex concepts. They define all important terms and support the definitions with concrete examples. Throughout the text, the authors show why some problems are still insoluble today and point out where other approaches will yield different conclusions, underscoring the importance of one's initial stand on an issue.-from back cover
