This is the first single-author text on the philosophical issues in bioethics that is both systematic and comprehensive. Engelhardt provides both a critique of the theoretical foundations of bioethics and an analysis of the problematic ways in which facts, theories and values become intertwined in concepts of health and disease. He analyzes patients' rights, including the right to free and informed consent, to refuse treatment, and to the benefits of health care. Covering topics that range from abortion and in vitro fertilization to sexual deviance and organ transplantation. Englehardt offers a critical and at times controversial analysis, defending such practices as fetal experimentation and limited infanticide.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 3rd Printing. A foundational copy of one of the most influential works in modern bioethics. H.

This solid reading copy is bound in maroon cloth with silver foil spine lettering and retains its original glossy red-and-orange dust jacket. Light shelf wear to the covers, an owner library stamp on the endpaper, and occasional light pencil underlining do not affect legibility or the square, sound binding and text block.
