Explore the intricate world of biomedical ethics with Case Studies in Biomedical Ethics: Decision-Making, Principles, and Cases, Second Edition, authored by Robert M. Veatch. Published by Oxford University Press on October 13, 2014, this seminal work provides an unparalleled collection of over 100 real-world case studies designed to illuminate the fundamental ethical questions encountered by healthcare professionals, patients, and all involved in medical decision-making. This comprehensive volume is structured into three distinct parts. The first section establishes a foundational framework for ethical decision-making within healthcare. The second part delves into the core ethical principles, including beneficence and nonmaleficence, justice, respect for autonomy, veracity, fidelity, and the avoidance of killing. These introductory sections equip readers with the necessary analytical tools to engage with the extensive collection of case studies presented in Part 3. These cases span a wide array of critical issues, such as abortion, mental health, human experimentation, and the right to refuse treatment. Enhancing its utility, each chapter opens with text boxes that skillfully cross-reference related cases throughout the book. The volume is further enriched by an appendix featuring important ethical codes and a glossary of key terminology. ISBN-10: 199946566, ISBN-13: 978-0199946563.
