Recenzje

Rhodes offers a powerful challenge to the field of bioethics to discard its long-standing approach to ethical problems in medicine of applying values drawn from common morality such as autonomy and beneficence to clinical matters. Instead, Rhodes argues compellingly, the ethics of medicine must be founded on the special powers, privileges, and immunities of medicine as a profession and the duty to exercise them in a manner that warrants patients' trust.
