Bioethics is a discipline still not fully explored in spite of its
rather remark able expansion and sophistication during the past two
decades. The prolifer ation of courses in bioethics at educational
institutions of every description gives testimony to an intense
academic interest in its concerns. The media have catapulted the
dilemmas of bioethics out of the laboratory and library into public
view arid discussion with a steady report of the so-called 'mira
cles of modern medicine' and the moral perplexities which
frequently accom pany them. The published work of philosophers,
theologians, lawyers and others represents a substantial and
growing body of literature which explores relevant concepts and
issues. Commitments have been made by existing in stitutions, and
new institutions have been chartered to further the discussion of
the strategic moral concerns that attend recent scientific and
medical progress. This volume focuses attention on one of the
numerous topics of interest within bioethics. Specifically, an
examination is made of the implications of the principle of justice
for health care. Apart from four essays in Ethics and Health Policy
edited by Robert Veatch and Roy Branson 4] the dis cussion of
justice and health care has been occasional, almost non-existent,
and scattered. The paucity of literature in this area is
regrettable but perhaps understandable. On the one hand, Joseph
Fletcher, one of the contemporary pioneers in bioethics, can hold
that "distributive justice is the core or key question for
biomedical ethics" ( 1], p. 102)."
