The Basics of Bioethics, Fourth Edition offers an easy-to-follow
introduction to this dynamic field, intended for healthcare
professionals, teachers, students, and anyone interested in
bioethics. Accessible and enjoyable for readers of all backgrounds,
the book contains numerous cases-including ones that recently have
dominated international headlines-to help anchor the broader
discussion. The text is suitable for use in short courses in
schools of medicine, nursing, and other health professions;
continuing professional education; various undergraduate
departments; and adult education. Chapters are organized around
common moral themes in order to help readers understand the values
and other connections that tie together different positions in
bioethics. This fourth edition adds a new chapter on alternative
frameworks in bioethics, including narrative ethics and casuistry,
feminist approaches, care ethics, and virtue ethics. Due to
significant advances in genetics and reproductive possibilities,
this new edition devotes a full chapter to each. The combined
teaching, research, and clinical experience of the two authors
helps make this edition current with the evolving field of
bioethics, while still embedding the major issues in a systematic
framework that allows readers easily to navigate the larger field.
Key Changes to the Fourth Edition: * An added chapter on new and
emerging approaches in bioethics, including those based on virtue
ethics, casuistry and narrative ethics, feminist ethics, and care
