Description: |
For more than twenty years Practical Decision Making in Health Care Ethics has offered scholars and students a highly accessible and teachable alternative to the dominant principle-based theories in the field. Raymond J. Devettere's approach is not based on an ethics of abstract obligations and duties but, following Aristotle, on how to live a fulfilled and happy life - in short, an ethics of personal well-being grounded in prudence, the virtue of ethical decision making. In this revised fourth edition, most chapters has been updated, adding new issues and recent cases. Topics of life support, genetic testing of fetuses, neuroscience, social psychology, prenatal life and abortion, neonatal testing, and many more are covered and thoughtfully updated and revised for a new generation readers. This classic textbook will be required reading for students and scholars of philosophy and medical ethics. |
