The new edition will show how the threats to the equality of human life and the potential for medical discrimination have accelerated since the publication of the first edition. Included in the new version: The Terri Schiavo Case, the spread of euthanasia, potential health care rationing posed by Obamacare, the Brittany Maynard assisted suicide firestorm, and the need to enact conscience laws to ensure that doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health care protection who do not wish to participate in the intentional taking of human life do not suffer professional discipline, what the author calls "medical martyrdom." Smith also writes about the trend to exploit the body parts and functions of the destitute, what he calls "biological colonialism."--Publisher's website 650 0 $a Medical ethics $x United States 650 0 $a Bioethics $x United States 650 12 $a Withholding Treatment $x ethics 650 22 $a Euthanasia $x ethics 650 22 $a Bioethical Issues 650 22 $a Tissue and Organ Procurement $x ethics 650 22 $a Value of Life 941 $a 2 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240104012048.0 952 $l AQPC277 $d 20201212011536.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=22D6001CFBA411E99525483697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
