Examining Complex Bioethics Issues Across Medicine and Society

This book offers an insightful look into the multifaceted world of bioethics and its far-reaching impacts on medicine, research, public health, and society. Prominent authors tackle thorny topics like the evolution of marriage from a religious bioethics perspective, radiation protection protocols, value-based approaches to cancer screening, end-of-life care, geoengineering ethics, complementary/alternative medicine, and more. This wide-ranging text illustrates how bioethics extends beyond the doctor’s office into intimate relationships, global policies, and everywhere. Readers will better understand how ethics guides difficult decisions throughout the medical field and beyond.
