This book is the first systematic integrated analysis of ethical issues in health care which combines an introduction to moral theory, a set of readings in health care ethics, and an extensive set of case studies.

Taking the theory of pluralistic casuistry with conventional bioethical wisdom, this title challenges the rigid principalism of contemporary bioethics. It argues for the fundamental distinction between active and passive euthanasia, and for a need to reconceptualize approaches to brain death.
