\"An excellent resource for entry-level courses on bioethics for health care practitioners, law students, and physicians.\" --Choice \"Dworkin's provocative arguments . . . will challenge readers who have come to accept the law's intrusion as a necessary response to biomedical advances.\" --New England Journal of Medicine \"Important and refreshing. Dworkin's conclusions regarding the limited role of law (and especially legislation) may come as a surprise to many. . . . When popular and political views are almost evenly divided, looking to legislation for a solution is a mistake.\" --Walter Wadlington The ethical and social dilemmas associated with abortion, sterilization, assisted reproduction, genetics, death and dying, and biomedical research have led many to turn to the legal system for solutions. Rogert Dworkin argues that resort to law often overlooks the limitations of legal institutions, and he suggests a more limited use of the legal system will produce more effective resolution of bioethical dilemmas.

About the Book Thoughtful and persuasive, this book urges the medical profession to improve palliative care and develop a more humane response to the complex issues facing those who are terminally ill. Book Synopsis In The Case against Assisted Suicide: For the Right to End-of-Life Care, Dr. Kathleen Foley and Dr. Herbert Hendin uncover why pleas for patient autonomy and compassion, often used in favor of legalizing euthanasia, do not advance or protect the rights of terminally ill patients. Incisive essays by authorities in the fields of medicine, law, and bioethics draw on studies done in the Netherlands, Oregon, and Australia by the editors and contributors that show the dangers that legalization of assisted suicide would pose to the most vulnerable patients. Thoughtful and persuasive, this book urges the medical profession to improve palliative care and develop a more humane response to the complex issues facing those who are terminally ill. Review Quotes A major contribution to our understanding of the practice, theory, and limitations of assisted suicide and euthanasia in seriously ill patients.

A thought-provoking and comprehensive look at the case against assisted suicide.-- "Bulletin of Medical Ethics"Foley, Hendin, and their contributors have produced a truly outstanding resource.-- "Cambridge Law Journal"Provides a comprehensive, persuasively argued case against assisted suicide.--Tony O'Brien "Metapsychology"The book is timely and important in the life and death debate that is of personal relevance to us all.-- "Review of Disability Studies"The methods of palliative care, or comfort care, have in the past few decades reached a level of effectiveness such that suffering thought at first to be intractable can almost always be relieved. And this is the ultimate message of this vastly important book that now makes its timely appearance.--Sherwin B. Nuland, M.D. "New Republic"The writing is of uniformly high quality, and the book achieves stylistic consistency while still reflecting an individual voice in each chapter. The book is sorely needed.--Jeffrey M. Lyness "New England Journal of Medicine"This excellent book will be a valuable resource for anybody interested in the delivery of better end-of-life care, whether they are clinicians, ethicists, or health care policymakerrs.-- "International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care" About the Author Kathleen Foley, M.D., is professor of neurology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University and director of the Project on Death in America of the Open Society Institute and Soros Foundation.Herbert Hendin, M.D., is professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at New York Medical College and medical director of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

About the Book None of the literature in the field of terminal care provides a full treatment of the laws, documents, and policies relating to the difficult issues arising at the end of life. When Life Ends was written to fill this gap by an attorney who serves on the bioethics committee of a large public hospital. It is an invaluable resource and practical tool for physicians, nurses, medical staffs, legal professionals, hospital administrators, and hospital bioethics committees because it provides: 1) in-depth legal commentaries on the refusal of life-sustaining treatment, advance directives, surrogate decision making, and the Patient Self-Determination Act; 2) more than 70 medical and legal documents to be used in connection with end of life decisions; and 3) hospital policies and procedures to suggest guidelines to hospital bioethics committees as they carry out their functions of developing policies and procedures to address end of life legal and ethical issues.

Review Quotes "Berger provides a unique blend of (1) a discussion of issues that have been problematic in the ethical consideration of end of life issues and (2) the provision of policies and forms that can be used by hospitals and other health care facilities. Very useful to health care institutions and to physicans regarding responsibilities and documentation in end of life situations. General; undergraduate; professional; two-year technical program students." --Choice "Although written primarily for physicians and hospital administrators, When Life Ends is certainly appropriate, and perhaps even essential reading for attorney (and their clients) working in health fields, estate planning, and elder law, as well as for social workers, clergy, and private citizens. End-of-life decisions will surely touch many of us either as caregivers, relatives, or patients. When Life Ends provides an objective framework for this often difficult, emotional subject. It is unreservedly recommended for law libraries, medical libraries, and social services collections in universities." --Legal Information Alert "...a valuable resource and practical tool for physicians, nurses, medical staffs, legal professional, hospital administrators, and hospital bioethics committees because it provides (1) in-depth legal commentaries on the refusal of life-sustaining treatment, advance directives, surrogate decisionmaking, and the Patient Self-Determination Act; (2) more than seventy medical and legal documents to be used in connection with end of life decisions; and (3) hospital policies and procedures to suggest guidelines to hospital bioethics committees as they carry out their functions of developing policies and procedures to address end of life legal and ethical issues." --Issues in Law & Medicine About the Author ARTHUR S.

Proposes that the human embryo in vitro is in a unique 'legal stasis' between potential person and useful research artefact. | Author: Catriona A. W. Mcmillan | Publisher: Cambridge University Press | Publication Date: April 01, 2021 | Number of Pages: 224 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 1108844103 | ISBN-13: 9781108844109

In recent years, the well-established field of human anthropology has been put under scrutiny by the new data offered by science and technology. Scientific intervention into human life through organ transplants, euthanasia, genetic engineering, experiments connected to the genetic code and the genome, and varied other biotechnologies have placed ethical beliefs into question and created ethical dilemmas. These scientific inventions influence our views on birth and death, on the construction of the body and its technical reproducibility, and have problematized the concept of the human persona. The purpose of bioethics, the science of life, is to find new values and norms which will be valid for a multicultural society. Bioethics is, today, a well-respected topic of research that has brought together philosophers and experts to discuss the limits of science and medicine. The aim of this book is to merge the two fields of bioethics and law (or biolaw) through the literary text, by taking into consideration the transformations of the concept of persona at which we have nowadays arrived. The new meaning of the term 'persona' represents in fact the final point of a long-standing quest for man's sense of his own being and human dignity, and of his capacity to live in social interrelations. The volume presents a wide range of perspectives, comprising methodological approaches, legal and literary aspects.
