Too often, discussions of ethical issues in health care and
medicine are detached from the legal contexts which guide the
practice of health care providers. In this book, Gary Jones and
Joseph DeMarco aim to connect ethical theory, medicine, and the
law, guiding readers toward a practical and legally-grounded
understanding of the issues. While health care law is not always in
the right, an understanding of laws and legal precedents, and of
the reasoning behind them, can help us to participate in discussion
of policy and to address current legal rights as well as complex
ethical questions as they arise during health care provision. This
book is uniquely up-to-date in its discussion of health care law,
and unpacks the complex web of American policies, including the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, so as to make it
intelligible to those without legal expertise. Bioethics in Context
covers a wide range of topics, including: appropriate measures one
should take to obtain informed consent and to protect patient
privacy, dealing with patients who exhibit signs of mental illness,
responding to sensitive cultural and religious concerns, and
balancing the needs of medical researchers with those of patients
participating in clinical trials. Useful case studies and examples
are embedded throughout, and a companion website offers a thorough
curated database of relevant legal precedents as well as additional
case studies and other resources.
