Reviews
"A comprehensive, thoroughly documented text addressing issues of morality, types of ethical theory, autonomy and informed consent, nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, patient-professional relations, professional virtues, and ideals."--Annals of Internal Medicine, "Profound and comprehensive in covering the subject. intellectually deep. Offers a way of thinking about ethics that could be applied to any discipline, including social work. Excellent book for use in classroom."--Norman Linzer, Wurzweiler School of Social Work at Yeshiva University, "Excellent as a basic text for an ethics course, regardless of profession. Basic principles are applicable across professions."--Richard Mowsesian, University of Texas at Austin, "A much-needed reworking and updating of a fundamental text in biomedical ethics. The authors accomplish this task with great success....An excellent introductory text. It is useful for those entering the field of biomedical ethics from other disciplines, clinical or nonclinical. Establishedpractitioners in the field will welcome it as a valuable contribution to the debate of the principle-based approach....The previous editions of this text have become classics in biomedical ethics. This edition...will no doubt become a classic in its own right....I would recommend that anyonestudying biomedical ethics, anyone working in this field, and certainly any health sciences library acquire this new edition."--Doody's Health Sciences Book Review

Synopsis
This is an extremely thorough revision of the leading textbook of bioethics. The authors have made many improvements in style, organization, argument and content. These changes reflect advances in the bioethics literature over the past five years. The most dramatic expansions of the text are in the comprehensiveness with which the authors treat different currents in ethical theory and the greater breadth and depth of their discussion of public policy and public health issues. In every chapter, readers will find new material and refinements of old discussions. This is evident in the many new sections on topics like communitarianism, ethics of care, relationship-based accounts, casuistry, case-based reasoning, principle-based common-morality theories, the justification of assistance in dying, rationing through priorities in the health care budget, and virtues in professional roles. The most extensive revisions are in chapters 1, 2 and 8., Biomedical ethics was a young field when the first edition of this book went to press in late 1977. Immense changes occurred in the field's literature between the first edition and the present, fourth edition. Although major changes have appeared in all editions after the first, this edition includes more significant changes than any other.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
