Biomedical Ethics: A Canadian Focus, 3rd Edition

by Johnna Fisher (Author) Biomedical Ethics: A Canadian Focus is an anthology of classic and contemporary readings designed to introduce students to the main moral debates and issues faced by practitioners in the medical professions today. While the articles and case studies focus primarily on health care provider-patient relations and public policy issues in health care, they also address conceptual issues that will be of interest to anyone with a deeper philosophical interest in biomedical ethics. The book is designed for a Canadian audience by emphasizing Canadian issues, readings, and case studies. Each chapter is composed of a detailed introduction to specific topics and issues, followed by a selection of related articles and documents. The readings are supported by end-of-chapter case studies covering the issues highlighted in the articles, as well as study questions and suggested further readings.
