Larry R. Churchill

Recenzje

I've been hoping for this book for a long time. Churchillâs approach to ethics teaching incorporates case analyses and exercises in a clear and accessible style, characterized by personal and interpersonal reflection. He shows readers that moral argument in bioethics should be rich and nuanced, emphasizing careful, respectful, and receptive listening and considering the details, words, and context that are essential to making and understanding health-related decisions. He emphasizes the central role of uncertainty in moral life, and reminds us that becoming a better person is a lifelong endeavor both teachable and rewarding.
