Reflections on Medical Ethics: A Search for Categories of Medical Ethics

This book challenges notions of dignity and informed consent and discusses new insights into the categories that allow ethical debates in medicine to overcome morality.... The book argues that one should be careful when thinking about situations in terms of concepts and principles that have obtained in similar situations. Although this book is mainly philosophical, it is also very practical for health professionals. It warns not to rely on concepts such as autonomy and consent, which are supposedly firm, but can be proven to be unreliable.
