Description

In this book, medical practitioners from a wide range of specialities describe the ethical choices they make in their everyday work. A moral philosopher analyzes their conclusions, and the resulting theological implications are developed by a Christian theologian and a Rabbinic scholar. The work is directed at health care professionals, medical students, moral philosophers and bioethicists.
