註釋

This book is a practical introduction to the ethical questions which doctors and other health-care professionals may be expected to encounter in practice. It covers both the familiar 'end of life' and 'beginning of life' issues, and also deals with medical research, consent to treatment, confidentiality and AIDS, resource allocation, care of the mentally ill, and the doctor-patient relationship. Each chapter canvasses a range of ethical views, drawing both from traditional philosophical responses and the most recent contemporary responses. Theoretical discussion is extended and enlivened by the use of examples, actual and hypothetical, which are suitable both for private study and group discussion. The needs of medical students and medical practitioners for a non-technical guide to ethics have been kept firmly in mind; yet the clarity of writing and the avoidance of jargon and specialist terminology (whether medical or philosophical) will ensure that this book will be welcomed by students of nursing and related disciplines and by the users of health services.
