Concerned with keeping medical ethics within the jurisdiction of medical doctors, the authors clarify its purview, ontological basis, and methodology. They discuss possible ethical systems and paradigms, then deal with the structures and concepts necessary in the formulation of a coherent philosophy: normality and disease, scientific and juridical law, certainty and certitude, decisions and decision making. Finally, they introduce particular human dimensions, such as quality of life, pain, and responsibility. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
