How should modern medicine's dramatic new powers to sustain life be employed? How should limited resources be used to extend and improve the quality of life? In this collection, Dan Brock, a distinguished philosopher and bioethicist and co-author of Deciding for Others (Cambridge, 1989), explores the moral issues raised by new ideals of shared decision making between physicians and patients. The book develops an ethical framework for decisions about life-sustaining treatment and euthanasia, and examines how these life and death decisions are transformed in health policy when the focus shifts from what is best for a patient to what is just for all patients. Professor Brock combines acute philosophical analysis with a deep understanding of the realities of clinical health policy. This is a volume for philosophers concerned with medical ethics, health policy professionals, physicians interested in bioethics, and undergraduate courses in biomedical ethics.

Fourteen leading authorities in their respective fields provide the most comprehensive and current survey of issues in medical ethics ever written. Each author is given the opportunity to write a chapter surveying a critical issue in one of the major subject areas in medical ethics. Within each chapter, the author develops a discussion of the critical concepts, arguments and positions in a particular facet of medical ethics, without arguing for one position or another. Since the first edition of Medical Ethics in 1989, important changes have occurred that affect every chapter in this book. To address these changes, Robert Veatch has asked the original contributors to address the developments of the past six years. Additionally, Ronald Bayer has contributed an new chapter on AIDS and ethics. Norman Daniels, former member of the ethics advisory group for President Clinton's Health Care Task Force, provides a framework for understanding the ethical dimension of the health care policy debate.
