Cases in Bioethics by Bette-Jane Crigger - Third Edition, 1998 from Macmillan Student Store

Cases in Bioethics, Third Edition, contains 59 cases, each of which presents a difficult question that regularly confronts medical practitioners. Each case is discussed by two or three ethicists, physicians, or hospital administrators, placing students in the thick of each difficult situation.

Features

Excellent springboard for discussion of major issues in bioethics.

Cases and discussions catch students' attention by providing concrete examples of general issues discussed in class.

An excellent supplement to a more traditional bioethics text, it can be packaged with Ridley, Beginning Bioethics: An Integrated Text with Readings.

New to This Edition

12 new cases that address issues stemming from cultural conflict, repercussions of an employer finding out confidential information about an employee through health insurance forms, the cost of radical procedures that enable caregivers both to honor a Jehovah's Witness patient's refusal of blood transfusion and to save her life, and more.

A new thematic category for the alternate table of contents: Chronic Illness and Long-Term Care.
