Case Studies In Biomedical Ethics: Decision-Making, Principles, And Cases Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The most comprehensive and up-to-date collection of its kind, Case Studies in Biomedical Ethics: Decision-Making, Principles, and Cases, Second Edition, explores fundamental ethical questions arising from real situations faced by health professionals, patients, and others.Featuring a wide range of more than 100 case studies drawn from current events, court cases, and physicians' experiences, the book is divided into three parts. Part 1 presents a basic framework for ethical decision-making in healthcare, while Part 2 explains the relevant ethical principles: beneficence and nonmaleficence, justice, respect for autonomy, veracity, fidelity, and avoidance of killing. Parts 1 and 2 provide students with the background to analyze the ethical dilemmas presented in Part 3, which features cases on a broad spectrum of issues including abortion, mental health, experimentation on humans, the right to refuse treatment, and much more. The volume is enhanced by opening text boxes in each chapter that cross-reference relevant cases in other chapters, an appendix of important ethical codes, and a glossary of key terms.

This book was very well written and I enjoyed learning from it. The case studies were specific and helped further advance the knowledge gained by the topic being discussed. However I couldn't help but feel that there was some bias in this book toward how medical ethics should be. Don't get me wrong it was very discussion based and I believe this wasn't the intent of the writer, but as it was discussed in my class, using examples seemed to lead one way or another.
Thank you
