healthcare ethicists working in the UK, respected worldwide for
their work in medical ethics, Principles of Health Care
Ethics, Second Edition is a standard resource for
students, professionals, and academics wishing to understand
current and future issues in healthcare ethics.
With a distinguished international panel of contributors working
at the leading edge of academia, this volume presents a
comprehensive guide to the field, with state of the art
introductions to the wide range of topics in modern healthcare
ethics, from consent to human rights, from utilitarianism to
feminism, from the doctor-patient relationship to
xenotransplantation.
This volume is the Second Edition of the highly successful work
edited by Professor Raanan Gillon, Emeritus Professor of Medical
Ethics at Imperial College London and former editor of the Journal
of Medical Ethics, the leading journal in this field.
Developments from the First Edition include: The
focus on 'Four Principles Method' is relaxed to cover
more different methods in health care ethics. More material on new
medical technologies is included, the coverage of issues on the
doctor/patient relationship is expanded, and material on ethics and
public health is brought together into a new section.

"It is probably now the single most comprehensive bioethics
textbook available ... This is a very fine book indeed."
(BMA Medical Book Competition - Programme and Award Winners,
September 2008)
"Serve[s] as a reference text of concise reviews and as a
medical ethics sampler. Such approachable original essays by
authors who are experts in their respective fields will serve as
excellent teaching tools, and I anticipate referring house staff,
nurses, and therapists to them ... .Serve[s] as a source of
intriguing insights on topics not commonly on the clinical ethics
table. It offers clinicians and medical practitioners a starting
place to understand key concepts and problems in medical ethics. As
such, it is a valuable reference text." (Respiratory
Care, April 2008)
"This is a well though out book covering a wide variety of
ethical problems in healthcare. It provides those interested in
healthcare ethics a great resource for starting their inquiry and
would be a valuable inquisition." (Doody's, November
2007)
