Product Description
Book Description
This edition includes chapters on managed care and medical genetics, as well as an expanded chapter on virtue and decision making. It updates accounts of controversies, including late-term abortion, cloning, germ-line genetic research, the human genome project, brain death, non-heart beating organ donors, and physician-assisted suicide. Case studies, drawn from landmark public cases, illustrate such issues as medical futility, genetic screening, AIDS research, managed-care mix-ups, and the ignoring of patients' wishes by doctors.

This is an amazing book, Jan 3 2000
By Jay A Stallard - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Practical Decision Making in Health Care Ethics: Cases and Concepts (Paperback)
I had the sincere privilege of taking a health care ethics class from Raymond Devettere while at Boston College. This is without exception the most illuminating book of my entire academic career. Not a day goes by that I don't remember the message of the book and ethic that Dr. Devettere teaches. This book, 2 years after I have read it remains the best book I have ever read.

Received book in very timely manner. Book in great condition. It is wonderful not spending a lot of money that a new book costs from a university bookstore and then can't get money back.
