This book is for aspiring minds who want to make a difference. It will help remove the "greyness" from hard questions frequently encountered in medical practice. This book will blow any bioethics class out of the water and introduce the reader to solid medical ethics! Any health professional or student frustrated with poor answers on various issues including human experimentation (cloning and embryology), vasectomy, any type of hysterectomy, ectopic or tubal pregnancy, treatment for the raped victim, sugeries, hermaphrodism, contraception etc. will get help. The author explains important concepts like double effect, types of ignorance, immediate or remote cooperation, natural law, confidentiality and secrets. Life is not all grey and there are answers to many difficult issues. The information in this book will give the knowledge you need to be confident, just take your vitamins first!
