Synopsis
This is a practical, versatile, case-based introduction to bioethics. Designed to be used as both individual reference and a set text, it is structured around a variety of activities designed to introduce and examine the major general and specific ethical questions. These are clustered around actual cases (from an international team of health care professionals), commentaries (by clinicians, lawyers and ethicists), and short papers. The workbook will be invaluable to practitioners, medical and nursing students, and anyone who needs to develop skills in ethical analysis for clinical practice or research.
