The Cambridge textbook of bioethics. (2008). Cambridge : Cambridge University Press
This resource is designed as a reference for clinicians, researchers, bioethicists, and students seeking a better understanding of the ethical problems in the healthcare setting. Each chapter illustrates an ethical problem that might be encountered in everyday practice; defines the concepts at issue; examines their implications from the perspective of ethics, law and policy; and then provides a practical resolution. There are ten key sections presenting the most vital topics and clinically relevant areas of modern bioethics. International, interdisciplinary authorship and cross-cultural orientation ensure suitability for a worldwide audience. This book will assist all clinicians in making well-reasoned and defensible decisions by developing their awareness of ethical considerations and teaching the analytical skills to deal with them effectively.
Bioethics for students : how do we know what's right? : issues in medicine, animal rights, and the environment. (1999). New York, NY : Macmillan Reference USA. 4 volumes.
Although based on the revised edition of the Encyclopedia of Bioethics [RBB Ag 95], this shorter work for high schools is not as well organized or as easy to use. Instead of alphabetically arranged entries, here are 18 broader themes with lots of essaylike subdivisions. "Sex and Gender" includes articles on homosexuality, sexism, sex therapy, and women, while "Environment" includes environmental ethics, hazardous wastes, and sustainable development. Some of these issues, of course, overlap tremendously, with confidentiality grouped under "Ethics and Law" but also discussed under "Genetics," "Stages of Life," and "Transplants and Other Technical Devices," among other sections. Hospice is grouped under "Therapies" but also discussed in "Death and Dying." Fortunately, the indexing makes all of the information, even that in the many sidebars, accessible.
Page design is similar to that in other Macmillan "For Students" sets, with a minor column containing definitions, sidebars, and see also references. Much of the text is taken directly from the parent work, with articles shortened but not necessarily made easier. Credit is given to the original authors, and some updating has been done. Information on multiple births from 1997 and euthanasia laws and court decisions from 1998 is included, as well as completely new information on human cloning. Several appendixes list U.S. legal cases influencing medical ethics, medical codes and oaths, and a glossary is included. The selected bibliography is arranged by topic areas and lists books and articles from the 1990s. Each volume has its own index, and there is a comprehensive index in volume 4.
