The essays assembled in this volume reflect my long-standing
interest in moral philosophy and my conviction that the idea of a
medical ethics as something distinct and separate from ethics is an
absurdity. Every person who acts is a moral agent. A person who
possesses special knowledge and skills and is expected to act in
the face of life-threatening circumstances--such as a physician--is
someone whose status as moral agent is accordingly greatly
enhanced. From the preface by the author.
