A Short History of Medical Ethics
Jonsen, Albert R. (Professor Emeritus of Ethics in Medicine, Professor Emeritus of Ethics in Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Washington, USA)
The current argument over the role of physicians in assisting patients to die constantly refers to the ethical duties of the profession. References to the Hippocratic Oath are often heard. Many modern problems, from assisted suicide to accessible health care, raise questions about the traditional ethics of medicine and the medical profession. However, few know, what the traditional ethics are and how they came into being. This book provides a brief tour of thecomplex story of medical ethics evolved over the centuries in both Western and Eastern culture.
