书籍简介：

Issues in medical ethics are rarely out of the media and it is an area of ethics that has particular interest for the general public as well as the medical practitioner. This short and accessible introduction provides an invaluable tool with which to think about the ethical values that lie at the heart of medicine. Tony Hope deals with the thorny moral questions such as euthanasia and the morality of killing, and also explores political questions such as: how should health care resources be distributed fairly? Each chapter in this book considers a different issue: genetics, modern reproductive technologies, resource allocation, mental health, medical research, and discusses controversial questions such as: * Who should have access to reproductive technology? Who should pay? * Is it right to fund expensive drug treatment for individuals? * Should active euthanasia be legalized? * Should treatment for mental illness be imposed on patients without their consent? * Who should have access to information from genetic testing? * Should we require consent for the use of dead bodies or organs in medical research?

书友短评：

@ 悉达猫 Medical Ethics opens up to me a whole new area through philosophical reasoning, mainly focusing on controversial issues that we’ve hardly paid attention to. There exit so many moral dilemmas, and things are not always black or white. Quite a thought-provoking book, but the Chinese translation leaves a lot to be desired. @ 扔铁饼的罗丹 不是很透（入门级书也可以写透的）…论证有时给我一种reasoning for the sake of reasoning的感觉。不知道牛津这一系列是否都值得一读。 @ Sally 太复杂了。我们随口给出的论点全都站不住脚。在安乐死问题上用“play God" 来反驳的，忘了医生救人也算在"play God"。在决定让一对夫妻有试管婴儿而另一对不可以时，我们只看到把机会给予了最可能幸福成长的孩子，却看不到对另一个可能生命的剥夺。什么是我们做决定时必须奉行的底线？ @ 你来人间一趟 [Audible] 理论部分废话太多太枯燥，具体到现实问题就变得烧脑有趣，是比读Justice更极端的阅读体验。最终的答案也许不重要，严谨又慈悲的论证已然足够；没有答案，而是分析。关于Cost-Effective Analysis (CEA)的一章我很喜欢。 @ athanos 有一些有启发性的东西，比如non-identity问题，但是感觉这些问题过于抽象学理，非常不切合实际。最大的问题还是废话太多，而且都是一些充满snobbism的废话。
