Abstract: This widely respected guide to biomedical and health care ethics provides an accessible and practical introduction to moral reasoning in the health professions. Centered on the four foundational principles of respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice, the book demonstrates how these concepts can be applied to complex ethical conflicts and dilemmas through careful specification and balancing. It also explores major philosophical approaches in biomedical ethics, including utilitarianism and Kantianism, while using vivid real-world examples to connect ethical theory with clinical practice. Annotated references throughout the text further support deeper study and research.The latest edition expands its coverage to address many of today...s most pressing ethical issues in medicine and health care. New topics include the role of artificial intelligence in clinical decision-making, moral distress, relational autonomy, medical aid in dying (MAID), public health ethics, harm reduction programs, and health care rationing during pandemics and organ transplantation. Additional updates examine therapeutic placebos, terminal sedation, conscientious objection, truth-telling and deception in patient care, and virtue theory with greater attention to values such as solidarity. Thoroughly revised and highly relevant, this edition offers a comprehensive resource for students and professionals studying biomedical ethics, bioethics, and health care ethics.
