Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Infuses the traditional philosophical processes of raising questions,
planting doubts, and retaining intellectual freedom into practical
issues relating to death, particularly euthanasia. A major theme is
the need to bridge the gap between respect for the principles of
autonomy as an abstract virtue, and beneficence for the patient in an
actual situation. The synthesis offered proposes limited
paternalistic roles for doctors and health-care professionals whose
expertise is assumed to be permeated with moral value and respect for
the patient's dignity and autonomy. Distributed in the US by Ashgate.
