ETHICAL PRACTICES IN HEALTH AND DISEASE
A Primer on Health Care Ethics
by Michael A. Monge

This book presents a number of areas of current debate in medicine. It tackles general questions of the nature of moral action and decision-making in health-care practice: the right to life, abortion, euthanasia, therapeutic abortion, organ transplants, in vitro fertilization, contraception, human experiments... The author writes briefly on the patient’s right to a dignified human treatment and spiritual care, his right to privacy as safeguarded by professional secrecy, medical secrets, and the computer.
