Book Description

January 1, 1993 0809134446 978-0809134441 4 Sub
Issues in bioethics, medicine, and healthcare continue to plague us - as patients, as consumers, as citizens. Here, under one cover, are thirty of the most current and perceptive articles, culled from key medical, ethical, philosophical, legal and theological journals. Dr. Shannon once again offers - to healthcare professions and students alike - access to this decade's core bioethics questions, a spectrum of viewpoints, and a wealth of insight.

The Issues Abortion. Fetal Tissue Research. Reproductive Technology. Gene Therapy. Death with Dignity. Advance Directives. Physician Assisted Suicide. Clinical Research and Consent. HIV/AIDS. Privacy and Disclosure. Organ Transplants. Healthcare Rationing.
