'It is refreshing to see a book on bioethics that is both comprehensive and easily readable. This is a case-based book packed with high-quality information … clever combination of academic material with practical case studies has resulted in a remarkably powerful and user-friendly book. It will probably succeed in making you at least try to think ethically.' Doctor 'This is a book with a great deal to commend it. The discussions are enlivened by an excellent panel of contributors, and the format is engaging.' Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine 'This is a text which has benefited from the input of many people in its preparation. it is easy to read, and full of interesting and engaging reflective activities … The early chapters are collected in a Part 1 entitled Ethical Issues Raised by Developments in Modern Medicine. Part II, entitled Vulnerability, Truth-telling, Competence and Confidentiality, is a collection of chapters on long-term care, mental health, the elderly, and children. The excellent section on children is one of the strengths of the book. Here, the ethics issues are discussed, and cases are presented which acknowledge the child's personal, family, social and medical context.' Monash Bioethics Review 'The style encourages readers to work through subjects and deliberate on issues raised and apply this to their own situations. Due to its flexibility, readers with little previous knowledge will benefit … an excellent resource for introducing ethics to medical students.' Palliative Medicine 'The editors of this Cambridge workbook should be congratulated for its success in rendering medical ethics lively, enticing, and user-friendly … this book should entice not only clinicians and health care professionals who have a special interest in biomedical ethics, but selected chapters will also be useful for postgraduate training in internal medicine, paediatirics, psychiatry and, above all, medical research.' Hong Kong Medical Journal 'As might be expected from a Cambridge University Press Workbook this is a very professional, clear and competent piece of work. Overall this should be a very useful Workbook to use the medical students and health-care workers who are being introduced to medical ethics for the first time. It is reliable, easy to use and provides a full bibliography of other resources.' Addition Biology 7 'The style of the book with its case studies, vignettes, ethical debate and topic selection, suits many educational scenarios … a book like this will be of major assistance in helping individuals and organisation, in a stimulating, enabling and facilitating manner, to improve prevalent standards of clinical practice.' D. Pritchard
