Summary:

"A collection of the landmark articles in clinical bioethics authored by the physician and philosopher, Edmund D, Pellegrino. As one of the founding figures of modern medical ethics, Dr. Pellegrino gained international renown for his deeply reflective scholarship and for his public service in developing the field. In over 600 scholarly papers and two dozen books, he touched on topics in medical ethics, philosophy, and theology. This volume focuses purely on those topics in clinical bioethics that are sought after by healthcare professionals, professional and graduate students in these fields, and those involved with clinical bioethics in hospitals and clinics. His legacy and profound influence in the proper practice of the field of medicine is thus made accessible to present and subsequent generations. Additional essays are provided from Pellegrino's former students and friends who introduce several articles and address contemporary topics in a way stemming from Pellegrino's thought"-- Provided by publisher.
