Clinical Bioethics e-bog

A theory of Clinical Bioethics based on the integration of the moral logic of health care practice ("e;internal morality"e;) and the larger social concerns and processes ("e;external morality"e;)Clinical Bioethics. A Search for the Foundations compares major theoretical models in the foundation of clinical bioethics and explains medicine as a normative practice. The goals of medicine are discussed with particular reference to the subjectivisation of health and the rationalisation of health care institutions. This volume provides a consistent reconstruction of bioethical judgment both at the level of epistemological statute and institutional context, i.e. clinical ethics committees and clinical ethics consultation.
