Furthermore, since the introduction of managed health care, with the physician becoming a 'health provider' and the patient a 'client', the whole concept of medical ethics has undergone a sea change. The contractual relationship between the provider and the client engenders caution and precaution, resulting in defensive medicine. This book both presents a succinct history of medical ethics and discusses a wide range of important ethical dilemmas in the provision of modern health care. A synopsis is provided of ethics through the ages and the role of ethics in the evolution of medicine. Principles and sources of medical ethics, as well as different religious and secular perspectives, are explained. Ethical concerns in relation to a variety of specific issues are then examined. These issues include, for example, human experimentation, stem cell research, assisted reproductive technologies, termination of pregnancy, rationing of health care, euthanasia, and quality of life issues. The author?s many years of practicing medicine in different cultures and countries and his passion for religious works, philosophy, literature, poetry, history, and anthropology have informed and enriched the contents of this stimulating book. 606 $aMedicine 606 $aEthics 606 $aMedical ethics 606 $aMedicine?History 606 $aMedicine/Public Health, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H00007 606 $aEthics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000 606 $aTheory of Medicine/Bioethics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H66000 606 $aHistory of Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H64000 615 0$aMedicine. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aMedical ethics. 615 0$aMedicine?History. 615 14$aMedicine/Public Health, general. 615 24$aEthics. 615 24$aTheory of Medicine/Bioethics. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 676 $a170 676 $a174.2 676 $a610 676 $a610.1 700 $aZaidi$b Shabih H$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0755855 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300083003321 996 $aEthics in Medicine$91523202 997 $aUNINA
