This anthology introduces students to the massive medical ethics literature on end-of-life issues, such as refusal of treatment, surrogate decision making, resuscitation policies, assisted suicide, and euthanasia. Although end-of-life issues are central, this text could be used as the basis for a much broader course in medical ethics. Each section's topic is introduced by an essay which presents the central concepts, concerns, arguments, and positions. The selections that follow include the most influential work in each area, as well as ground-breaking newer essays. Essays have all been chosen for their accessibility to students and are augmented by the inclusion of a glossary of philosophical and medical terms.

The complexities of a healthcare situation often include the moral concerns and religious commitments ofthe patient, but they should also include those of the healthcare professionals. In this approach to problems in medical ethics, the contributors provide case studies, interviews, and personal narratives that enables ethicists to listen more attentively, and thus offer wiser responses to the moral issues at stake. Chapters include a review of classic 20th-century writing on religion and medicine, and examination of the issues surrounding organ transplants, an exploration of ways to affirm the dignity of the dying, and a discussion of how we can connect the experience of mortality with what it means to be human.

The 149 cases included in the book are grouped in nine chapters, each of which covers a key area of debate in the field.

Onora O'Neill

Why has autonomy been a leading idea in philosophical writing on bioethics, and why has trust been marginal? In this important book, Onora O'Neill suggests that the conceptions of individual autonomy so widely relied on in bioethics are philosophically and ethically inadequate, and that they undermine rather than support relations of trust. She shows how Kant's non-individualistic view of autonomy provides a stronger basis for an approach to medicine, science and biotechnology, and does not marginalize untrustworthiness, while also explaining why trustworthy individuals and institutions are often undeservingly mistrusted.

Howard B. Radest

The current development of biomedical ethics is a source of radical critique not only in the clinic, but also in the classroom. This volume argues that today's moral education is too abstract to be effective and would benefit from the adoption of the practical approach which is typical of biomedical ethics--"thinking with cases." In presenting this approach, Radest explores various issues of moral epistemology and advocates the urgency of realism and decision in ethics. The use of a rich and complex literature drawn from biomedical ethics, pedagogy, and philosophy serves to stimulate the reader to think through the moral complexity and ambivalence of modern experience.

The aim of this work is to provide a critique of principle-based ethical systems within the context of modern medicine, focusing specifically on end-of-life decisions. In an attempt to transcend the shortcomings of both utilitarian and deonotological ethical theories, the author argues for an incorporation of the virtues in medical practice, drawing from and developing Aristotle's teleological account of the virtues. Three questions concerning the morality of euthanasia are raised, each invoking a typical feature of human suffering, which leads to an analysis of a moral virtue that addresses each of these features of suffering.

The existing literature in medical ethics does not serve the practical needs of medical students and trainees very well, as the dilemmas posed are generally beyond their direct control, and being a student or junior doctor brings its own set of ethical concerns. The editors have addressed this need by compiling a series of case studies from around the world and inviting an international team of leading ethicists and clinicians to comment on them. The book will be an essential guide on how to cope with the ethical dilemmas of those embarking on medical careers.

The book examines the traditional approach and the changing experience and expectations of consumers. It describes with clinical examples and patient narratives how to practice evidence-based patient choice, and explores the ethical, sociological and economic issues raised.

This volume explores the impact of various health-care structures on the ability of health-care professionals to practice in an ethically acceptable manner. The limits of ethical possibility are created by the system within which health-care workers must practice: a system which mandates "getting to know your patient" but at the same time is restricted by financial concerns of a hospital, hospice, or a health management organization.

Students and clinicians find that reading the cases of real patients is an effective and enjoyable way to get experience applying the principles of differential diagnosis to a wide range of patients. Although the Casebook discussions often briefly mention treatment and follow-up, the focus is almost exclusively on diagnosis. The authors have selected the most interesting cases that cover a wide range of diagnoses. Following each of these cases one or more experts in that diagnosis will provide a discussion of how they would approach the treatment of such a patient.

This is the first book to both review these new techniques and place them in the context of existing somatic therapies in psychiatry. Unlike electroconvulsive therapy (ECT, still the treatment of choice for patients with depression), these breakthrough methods enable us to affect selectively higher cognitive processes and mood systems by electrically stimulating - directly or indirectly - focal regions of the cortex and subcortical structures in the brain. The degree of effectiveness of TMS and MST (MST is a higher dosage convulsive form of magnetic stimulation) is being studied worldwide and has yet to be proven.

The purpose of this book is to offer a more adequate framework for discussing and approaching moral issues arising in treatment. The framework for this moral paradigm centers on the concept of moral functioning. The chapters explore the implications of a functional paradigm for understanding the clinician's role in dealing with the moral aspects of several common clinical problems: influencing patients, deciding on the direction of treatment, understanding problems in caring, approaching moral dilemmas, and dealing with unfair pain and with moral failure. The last two chapters discuss the therapeutic potential of moral growth and transformation, and the possibility of achieving needed integration through the use of a moral paradigm.
