Nueva ed. de la obra dirigida a los estudiantes del grado de Medicina con un enfoque totalmente adaptado a las directrices de los nuevos planes de estudio, en los que la asignatura de Humanidades médicas va ganando protagonismo. Esta obra analiza los problemas de la medicina desde una perspectiva histórica interdisciplinar. No es sólo un libro de historia documental, sino que utiliza herramientas conceptuales que provienen de otras disciplinas humanísticas como la filosofía y la ética e intenta llegar a comprender y evaluar las situaciones actuales. La presente obra se integra así en el conjunto de las llamadas nuevas humanidades médicas. En la nueva edición se han incluido nuevos capítulos sobre el ambiente. Uno de ellos analiza los problemas del ambiente causados por el ser humano, otro presenta los problemas del ser humano causados por el ambiente, y en otro más se muestra un panorama de la ética ambiental actual y del movimiento ecologista. Por otra parte, se ha modificado todo lo referente a las enfermedades infecciosas, porque, en la última década, la secuenciación de genomas microbianos antiguos y los progresos de la paleomicrobiología han cambiado muchas ideas previas. La obra no pretende ser un simple libro de historia de la medicina, sino un contenido actualizado sobre los problemas de la medicina analizados con la ayuda de la historia, y de cualquier otra disciplina que tenga algo que aportar

This short textbook of ethics and law is aimed at doctors in training and in practice. Medical ethics and law are now firmly embedded in the curricula of medical schools. The ability to make clinical decisions on the basis of critical reasoning is a skill that is rightly presumed as necessary in today's doctors. Medical decisions involve not only scientific understanding but also ethical values and legal analysis. The belief that it is ethically right to act in one way rather than another should be based on good reasons: it is not enough to follow what doctors have always done, nor what experienced doctors now do. The third edition has been revised and updated to reflect changes in the core curriculum for students, developments in the law as well as advances in medicine and technology. It includes a new ‘extensions’ section, providing an outline of important developing areas in medical ethics.

Ethics, Conflict and Medical Treatment for Children

What should happen when doctors and parents disagree about what would be best for a child? When should courts become involved? Should life support be stopped against parents’ wishes? The case of Charlie Gard, reached global attention in 2017. It led to widespread debate about the ethics of disagreements between doctors and parents, about the place of the law in such disputes, and about the variation in approach between different parts of the world. In this book, medical ethicists Dominic Wilkinson and Julian Savulescu critically examine the ethical questions at the heart of disputes about medical treatment for children. They use the Gard case as a springboard to a wider discussion about the rights of parents, the harms of treatment, and the vital issue of limited resources. They discuss other prominent UK and international cases of disagreement and conflict. From opposite sides of the debate Wilkinson and Savulescu provocatively outline the strongest arguments in favour of and against treatment. They analyse some of the distinctive and challenging features of treatment disputes in the 21st century and argue that disagreement about controversial ethical questions is both inevitable and desirable. They outline a series of lessons from the Gard case and propose a radical new ‘dissensus’ framework for future cases of disagreement. .
