Standard of Care: The Law of American Bioethics

Unmarked text. Dust jacket has a bumped corner soft corner crease. Notes. Index. 291p. Standard of Care explores the fundamental value conflicts confronting medicine and society through the late 20th Century by examining courtroom resolutions of real bioethical disputes, often of constitutional dimension.

This case-based approach, which ranges from abortion to euthanasia, from AIDS to organ transplantation, from genetic research to the artificial heart and rationing, illuminates the value choices with which the power (and impotence) of medicine confronts us.
