Conclusions and Confusions; Selected Bibliography; Index; About the AuthorThis book benefits from the emergence of bioethics as it has evolved from its clinical roots to address policy, politics, and social practice far removed from that origin. It situates terrorism and bioterrorism in the field of ethical inquiry. Finally, it treats the catastrophic event as a category or genre and so enables us to enrich inquiry by ranging from hurricane and flood to terrorist attack.Disaster medicineMoral and ethical aspectsMedical ethicsBioethicsDisaster medicineMoral and ethical aspects.Medical ethics.Bioethics.174.957174/.957Radest Howard B.1928-2014.1468036MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778019703321Bioethics3867188UNINA
