This collection examines prevalent assumptions in moral reasoning which are often accepted uncritically in medical ethics. It introduces a range of perspectives from philosophy and medicine on the nature of moral reasoning and relates these to illustrative problems, such as New Reproductive Technologies, the treatment of sick children, the assessment of quality of life, genetics, involuntary psychiatric treatment and abortion. In each case, the contributors address the nature and worth of the moral theories involved in discussions of the relevant issues, and focus on the types of reasoning which are employed. 'Medical ethics is in danger of becoming a subject kept afloat by a series of platitudes about respect for persons or the importance of autonomy. This book is a bold and imaginative attempt to break away from such rhetoric into genuine informative dialogue between philosophers and doctors, with no search after consensus.' Mary Warnock
Industry Reviews
This collection of essays bristles with new ideas. It contributes to the major topical debates on quality adjusted life years, genetic screening, human embryo research, and abortion but also provides a challenge to the restriction of medical ethical debate to quandaries and dilemmas. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sarah Haddon Furness British Medical Journal
