Eye Opening Topic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Bought this book for an online class and it was very useful and easy to work with. It comprehensively covered such difficult topics as death and dying, maternal-fetal conflict, artificial insemination, transplants and biomedical research. Through working with this book I was better able to understand autonomy and informed consent and beneficence and nonmaleficence and the professional standards of confidentially and professional ethic standards.
Great book with the right instructor
