| Synopsis: |
The 14 chapters in Ethics at the End of Life: New Issues and Arguments, all published here for the first time, focus on recent thinking in this important area, helping initiate issues and lines of argument that have not been explored previously.? At the same time, a reader can use this volume to become oriented to the established questions and positions in end of life ethics, both because new questions are set in their context, and because most of the chapters-written by a team of experts-survey the field as well as add to it. ? Each chapter includes initial summaries, final conclusions, and a Related Topics section.? ? TABLE OF CONTENTSJohn K. Davis, ?
