Medical Ethics: A Very Short Introduction

The first parts felt very much like the author was asked to give an impromptu speech on medical ethics and just jotted down what came to mind.

But then, it got really good. It presented Medical Ethics as sort of a real-world philosophy that has real-world consequences in contrast to a series of unrealistic ungrounded thought-experiments (something that philosophers tend to do).

The topic itself is a bit niche, but the way the author uses philosophy and reasoning to work through grounded, impactful principles and recounts them from real medical ethics problems was really great. A good read for that if nothing else.

A very good introduction.

A very good introduction.

Agree this should be included.
