内容説明
Structured around eight chapters, this book introduces ethical theory and practice to healthcare students and professionals, including those working in medicine, nursing, public health, dentistry, and research.
Increasingly, students and professionals within healthcare are faced with difficult questions and decisions: medical progress and technological innovation are widening the therapeutic scope, thereby both allowing for new, exciting possibilities but also making clinical decisions more intricate. That's why it is no longer enough to provide healthcare students and professionals with some basics in biomedical ethics; rather, what is needed is also an accessible guide to ethical theories and practices, which does not presuppose any background or training in philosophy while at the same time not renouncing the fundamental questions at the core of the medical profession - this book aims to be exactly that ethical guide.
