Product Information

Building on the best-selling tradition of previous editions, Principles of Biomedical Ethics, Sixth Edition, provides a highly original, practical, and insightful guide to morality in the health professions. Acclaimed authors Tom L. Beauchamp and James F. Childress thoroughly develop and advocate for four principles that lie at the core of moral reasoning in health care: respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice. Drawing from contemporary research--and integrating detailed case studies and vivid real-life examples and scenarios--they demonstrate how these prima facie principles can be expanded to apply to various conflicts and dilemmas, from how to deliver bad news to whether or not to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatments. Illuminating both theory and method throughout, Principles of Biomedical Ethics, Sixth Edition, considers what constitutes moral character and addresses the problem of moral status: what rights are due to people and animals, and when. It also examines the professional-patient relationship, surveys major philosophical theories--including utilitarianism, Kantianism, rights theory, and Communitarianism--and describes methods of moral justification in bioethics. Ideal for courses in biomedical ethics, bioethics, and health care ethics, the text is enhanced by hundreds of annotated citations and a substantial introduction that clarifies key terms and concepts. Features of the Sixth Edition: * Integrates case studies throughout the text, rather than presenting them in an appendix as in previous editions * A new chapter on moral status (Chapter 3) * Extensively revised and expanded material on the theory of the common morality (Chapters 1 and 10) * A reworked discussion of the ethics of care as a form of virtue ethics (Chapter 2) * Revised and updated treatments of nonmaleficence and beneficence, which take into account recent legal and philosophical literature and discussions (Chapters 5 and 6) * A new section on vulnerability and exploitation as it applies to justice (Chapter 7) * A more concise treatment of the principles of biomedical ethics throughout the text, featuring developed, refined, and modified perspectives

Reviews
"The sixth edition of Principles of Biomedical Ethics, which more than any other book has helped to shape the field of biomedical ethics, is even better than the previous five editions. Beauchamp and Childress continue to listen to their critics, of whom I am one, and to change their bookaccordingly. Although I still have some problems with the theory of principlism, I have nothing but admiration for their comprehensive and detailed discussion of the moral problems that arise in the field of medicine. I plan to use this edition, as I have used previous editions, as one of theprimary texts in my course in Philosophy of Medicine."--Bernard Gert, Stone Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy, Dartmouth College, "Principles of Biomedical Ethics has the deserved status of a classic inits field. The authors are excellent role models of ethical reasoning forstudents to emulate."--Craig Duncan, Ithaca College, "Principles of Biomedical Ethics has, over six successive editions, clarified and expanded the concepts, definitions, and arguments that make bioethics a discipline instead of random shards of opinion, sometimes astute, sometimes silly, that pass in the media for ethical commentary on medicineand science. This book is the thesaurus of bioethical discourse."--Albert R. Jonsen, Professor Emeritus, Department of Medical History and Ethics, University of Washington, "This sixth edition of Principles of Biomedical Ethics reaffirms its undisputed stature as a canonical text for the world's bioethicists. It maintains a standard of scholarship and clarity appealing to neophytes and seasoned scholars, to adherents and critics of its principled approach. Itculls the new and the old with precision and adds a new chapter on moral status. Anyone hoping to stay current with the continuing evolution of bioethics must read this update."--Edmund D. Pellegrino, Chairman, President's Council on Bioethics, "Principles of Biomedical Ethics is, and continues to be, a tremendous contribution to the bioethics literature. Whether one agrees or disagrees with [the authors'] approach, it is unquestionable that theirs is the predominant means of addressing ethical dilemmas in healthcare in the UnitedStates today."--Deborah Barnbaum, Kent State University, "The overall quality of Principles of Biomedical Ethics is outstanding.From it, a careful and interested reader can come away with a thorough,in-depth, and consistent understanding of bioethics. The major strength of thebook is its firm grounding in theory. In this respect, it stands head andshoulders above any of its competitors."--Robert Rothman, Rochester Institute ofTechnology, "What is by far the best general book on bioethics has gotten even better. The new material on international justice and virtue ethics is especially valuable. Such a combination of accessibility and rigor is rarely attained."--Allen Buchanan, James B. Duke Professor of Philosophy and James B.Duke Professor of Public Policy Studies, Duke University, "The new sixth edition of Principles of Biomedical Ethics is a welcome event. There is nothing else like it in the field of bioethics. It has easily become over the years the most used, most praised, and most distinguished book in the field. Each edition moves beyond the previous ones inimportant and nuanced ways. Beauchamp and Childress keep up with the ever-changing terrain of bioethics, and work hard to refine their own arguments. It gets better and better. One can hardly ask for more."--Daniel Callahan, Director, International Program, The Hastings Center, "The overall quality of Principles of Biomedical Ethics is outstanding. From it, a careful and interested reader can come away with a thorough, in-depth, and consistent understanding of bioethics. The major strength of the book is its firm grounding in theory. In this respect, it stands headand shoulders above any of its competitors."--Robert Rothman, Rochester Institute of Technology, "Every new edition of this classic gets better and better. This is essential reading for all students and scholars of bioethics."--Bernard Lo, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Director, Program in Medical Ethics, University of California, San Francisco, "The new sixth edition of Principles of Biomedical Ethics is a welcome event.

Pellegrino, Chairman, President's Council on Bioethics "The contemporary field of bioethics is unimaginable, absent this text. Principles of Biomedical Ethics provided a paradigmatic approach that shaped the early character of bioethics. It continues to be a source of serious debate regarding the nature of morality and the significance of bioethics. No one can understand the field of bioethics apart from this volume."--H. Tristram Engelhardt, Jr., M.D., Professor, Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine "Principles of Biomedical Ethics has, over six successive editions, clarified and expanded the concepts, definitions, and arguments that make bioethics a discipline instead of random shards of opinion, sometimes astute, sometimes silly, that pass in the media for ethical commentary on medicine and science.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Principles of Biomedical Ethics

    I wasn't a big fan of this text -- much prefer Veatch et al's biomedical ethics book. This book was very wordy and tough to follow. It seemed like they argued for their position with an assumption that you were familiar with their critics' views on the material - almost more like a rebuttal than a textbook. I did like that they discussed a lot of different views on the various ethical debates covered.

  • A Little Wordy and Hard to Understand

    This book was not worth the time it would have taken me to read it in depth. I only skimmed it. It was necessary for my course since my prof took material from it for our exams that he hadn't lectured on, but I wouldn't recommend it as a good source on the topic. Buy it if you have to, but otherwise, skip it.

  • Its bioethics. Nothing more, nothing less. Good read.

    This is fun to read, but some many think that the topics are to controversial to think about. If you have to read it, you won't be disappointed; unless you are stuck in your own ways and can't look past your face to see the truth of how things should work, and not how you want them to.

  • good!

    good book, very interesting used for a class. The book helps understand medical decscions...........................................
