In Morals and Medicine a leading Protestant theologian comes to
grips with the problems of conscience raised by new advances in
medical science and technology. They arise as issues at the start
or making of a life, in preserving its health, and in facing its
death. They are the problems of Everyman: some are new problems of
conscience, such as artificial insemination; some are old problems
in new dimensions, such as euthanasia. Modern medicine provides
such a high degree of control over health and vital processes that
men must inevitably shoulder the burden of intelligent decision,
and shoulder it as rationally as possible. Thus far, only Roman
Catholic moralists have worked out a coherent ethics of medical
care. Morals and Medicine is a new and independent analysis of the
morals of life and death, striking out along the line of the values
of personality rather than of mere physiological life itself. It
offers a modern and at the same time Christian concept of right and
wrong for all who are involved: the patient, the doctor and nurse,
the pastor, and the family and friends. Originally published in
1954. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
