| | Customer Reviews: Gem of a book (18 February 2008)A great little read (with pictures and photos)even if you are not that interested in ethics! You will not be dissapointed with this book. Great buy (12 November 2007)Clearly and concisely written this book puts forward a number of extremely interesting arguments surrounding various topics in medical ethics. Contains useful information about how (if at all) these arguments influence real-life practice. Does pretty much exactly what the title would suggest. Excellent value for money. A timely edition to the ethics literature, for a hot area (31 October 2004)This well-balanced and expertly crafted paperback fills a critical gap in 21st Century medical education. It addresses hot issues in the UK, such as the current debate on 'assisted dying' (active euthanasia). Rarified jargon and obscure legal precedents are avoided, wisely, and I have already recommended it for postgraduate students in our PGME centre. The issues covered would apply widely in healthcare training, and this could become a classic 'Introduction' for both medical and nursing undergraduate courses in ethics and in social policy. | |
