This fourth edition of "Health Care Ethics" provides a
contemporary study of broad and major issues affecting health care
and the ethics of health care from the perspective of Catholic
teachings and theological investigation.
It aims to help Christian, and especially Catholic, health care
professionals solve concrete problems in terms of principles rooted
in Scripture and tested by individual experience.
Since the last edition of "Health Care Ethics," there have been
many changes in the fields of health care medicine and theology
that have necessitated a fourth edition. Ashley and O'Rourke have
revised their seminal work to address the publication of
significant documents by the Church and the restructuring of the
health care system.
Features of the revised fourth edition: - Discusses significant
Church documents issued since the third edition includes "The
Splendor of Truth" ( "Veritatis Splendor"), and the "Gospel of
Life" ( "Evangelium Vitae"); the "Instruction on the Vocation of
Theologians"; the "Catechism of the Catholic Church"; and the
"Revised Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health
Services."
- Examines the implications of managed care techniques.
- Probes such changes in the practice of medicine as the new
emphasis on preventive care, the involvement of individuals in
their own care, greater use of pharmaceuticals in psychiatry, and
the greater role of genetics in diagnosis and prognosis.
- Explores the quest for more compassionate care of the
dying.
- Updates the bibliography.
