Cases in Bioethics contains 59 cases from the United States, each of which presents a difficult question that regularly confronts medical practitioners across the world. Each case is discussed by two or three ethicists, physicians, or hospital administrators. Students are placed in the thick of each difficult situation. In this third edition there are twelve new cases that address issues stemming from cultural conflict, employer/employee relationships, religious objections to treatment, and other dilemmas.
