Description
The Hackett Introduction to Medical Ethics addresses key debates and analyses prominent ethical perspectives on clinical medicine, healthcare policy, and human experimentation. Using numerous examples and case studies, Altman and Coe apply value theory to contemporary medical practice and trace the repercussions for such philosophical issues as autonomy, death, and justice. The book invites a range of readers to investigate urgent moral questions at the intersection of the body and social institutions.
Free online resources to support The Hackett Introduction to Medical Ethics will be available on the book title page at www.hackettpublishing.com in early autumn 2025. Resources will include PowerPoint lecture slides, a sample syllabus, links to case studies (to help facilitate small group discussion and apply theoretical concepts), and more.
