Product 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.

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.
