Description: |
Considering dilemmas in medical policy making, Blank contends that there is only one way to improve health policy: by moderating public expectations of biomedical technologies and emphasizing preventive health care. Blank traces four aspects of health care: organ transplantation, the treatment of seriously ill newborns, reproductive technologies, and fetal health. |
Synopsis: |
