Sinopsis

Philosopher Samuel Gorovitz spent seven weeks at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital observing life at one of the nation's premier teaching hospitals. In Drawing the Line, Gorovitz provides an intense, disturbing, and insightful account of his observations during those seven weeks. He examines the ethical questions that permeate hospital life: who should be making life and death decisions - and how should they be made? How should scarce medical resources be allocated? What rules should govern the use of foetal tissue in research and treatment? Where should we draw the line, and how?
