Medical ethics : a very short introduction / Michael Dunn and Tony Hope.

"Ethical issues in medicine are rarely out of the news, and provide a source of great concern for both the general public and medical practitioners alike. This "Very Short Introduction" highlights a wide range of thorny moral questions related to health care. Some of these are age old, such as euthanasia and the morality of killing, while others have arisen with recent advances in medical technology. Michael Dunn and Tony Hope explain the tools of ethical reasoning and show how these can be used to explore the role of ethics in decisions and dilemmas that have to be faced in health care worldwide and on a daily basis."--From publisher's description.
