Description
Philosphical medical ethics forms the basis of the codes of conduct and legal constraints involved in doctorsa professional lives. This series of articles presents a British approach to the concepts, assumptions, beliefs, attitudes, and arguments underlying medico--moral decision--making in the context of medical practice.
