Yet the diversity of cultural and religious assumptions regarding human nature, health and illness, life and death, and the status of the individual suggest that a cross-cultural study of health care ethics is needed. A Cross-Cultural Dialogue on Health Care Ethics provides this study. It shows that ethical questions can be resolved by examining the ethical principles present in each culture, critically assessing each value, and identifying common values found within all traditions, It encourages the development of global awareness and sensitivity to and respect for the diversity of peoples and their values and will advance understanding as well as help to foster a greater balance and a fuller truth in consideration of the human condition and what makes for health and wholeness. 606 $aMedical ethics 606 $aMedical care$vCross-cultural studies 615 0$aMedical ethics. 615 0$aMedical care 676 $a174/.2 701 $aCoward$b Harold G$0642923 701 $aPhinit Rattanakun$01724611 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827257803321 996 $aA cross-cultural dialogue on health care ethics$94126837 997 $aUNINA
