Written by a physician and a philosopher—both internationally recognized experts in medical ethics—
addresses key topics that have occupied the media and the courts for the past several decades, including the wrenching Terry Schiavo case. The book combines clear descriptions of ethical principles with real clinical stories to discuss the medical, legal, and political issues that confront doctors today as they seek to provide the best medical care to critically ill patients.
The authors have added two chapters that outline theoretical, legislative, judicial, and clinical developments since the first edition. Based on the latest empirical research,
continues to guide a broad range of health care professionals through the challenges of providing humane end-of-life care.
