The Cambridge Medical Ethics Workbook


Book Description

This new edition of The Cambridge Medical Ethics Workbook builds on the success of the first edition by working from the 'bottom up', with a widely praised case-based approach. A variety of guided exercises are supplemented by short papers and commentaries on legal and ethical issues, challenging readers to develop their own analyses and recommendations. Chapters cover death, genetics, new reproductive technologies, research, long-term care, mental health, children and young people, allocation of scarce resources, and general issues about autonomy and patient choice. An appendix discusses the use of this book in teaching, along with a full bibliography, list of Kennedy Institute keywords, and suggestions for further reading. An interactive CD-ROM packaged with the book provides extra cases, a glossary, legal references and the chance to record a personal learning diary. Its simple, clear style makes this book ideal for individual reference and as a set text for group teaching.

Value Full Life is a framework of eleven core values encouraging us to come together and work toward the growth and development of possibilities and aspirations. These values combine respect for oneself and one’s world, encompassing the development of esteem and honor for our unique individuality and all that surrounds us. Value Full Life is a concise expression of philosophies for living, along with core values that have been relevant to the success of the United States of America. Value Full Life emphasizes a blend of natural science, human history and behavior, and clinical competencies that are relevant from a personal and social system perspective. The author incorporates a historic legacy of wisdom from spiritual traditions, Native Americans, the Founding Fathers, and other American leaders to define a value system that can help bring us together and secure a stronger foundation for future endeavors. The United States, and we as individual citizens, are at an intersection with history. Value Full Life takes into account the many factors that contribute to the urgency of our times including the challenges facing the world today, the political divide in the United States, pace and scope of change, volume of exposure to information, and unprecedented complexity of our modern world.
