This collection examines prevalent assumptions in moral reasoning
which are often accepted uncritically in medical ethics. It
introduces a range of perspectives from philosophy and medicine on
the nature of moral reasoning and relates these to illustrative
problems, such as New Reproductive Technologies, the treatment of
sick children, the assessment of quality of life, genetics,
involuntary psychiatric treatment and abortion. In each case, the
contributors address the nature and worth of the moral theories
involved in discussions of the relevant issues, and focus on the
types of reasoning which are employed. 'Medical ethics is in danger
of becoming a subject kept afloat by a series of platitudes about
respect for persons or the importance of autonomy. This book is a
bold and imaginative attempt to break away from such rhetoric into
genuine informative dialogue between philosophers and doctors, with
no search after consensus.' Mary Warnock
