Description:
Healthcare is one of the most important challenges of the 21st-century. Medical advances have made it very difficult for healthcare providers, patients, and their families to keep pace with the ethical problems inherited with new procedures. Ethicists must meet the demands of medical research, government regulations, and Church directives.
Among the issues under discussion are embryonic stem-cell research, cloning, healthcare reform, end-of-life care, organ transplants, and genetic engineering.
Making Healthcare Decisions is a practical Catholic guide on these issues. It provides an overview of Catholic medical ethics, with references for further reading, discussion questions, and a glossary of medical and ethical terminology. 140 pages. -- Edited by Ron Hamel. Ron Hamel is ethicist at the Catholic Health Association in St. Louis, Missouri. Other contributors include Michael R. Panicola, Mark Miller, and Richard C. Sparks. -- Paperback -- 5 1/2 x 8 1/4"
