Practical Decision Making in Health Care Ethics Cases and Concepts

For nearly fifteen years Practical Decision Making in Health Care Ethics has offered scholars and students a highly accessible and teachable alternative to the dominant principle-based theories in the field. DevettereÆs approach is not based on an ethics of abstract obligations and duties, but, following Aristotle, on how to live a fulfilled and happy lifein short, an ethics of personal well-being grounded in prudence, the virtue of ethical decision making. This third edition is revised and updated and includes discussions of several landmark cases, including the tragic stories of Terri Schia.

  • "The author begins with an overview of ethical theory and argues for his own Aristotleian position before going on to apply this view to a wide range of issues within medical ethics. This second edition includes new chapters on managed care and medical genetics, as well as an extended chapter on virtue and decision making. It also addresses bioethical controversies which have arisen since the publication of the first edition, such as late-term abortion, cloning, germ-line genetic research, the human genome project, brain death, non-heart- beating organ donors, and physician-assisted suicide."
