Opis

This book discusses the role of the medical professionals who in the call of their duty have to occasionally clarify their values in as far as ethical dilemmas are concerned. It correlates the challenges of care giving with the christian world view concerning end-of- life issues. It attempts to reconcile and also draw parallels on the diverse views. The book presents some best case scenarios and dialogues on this subject from the local setting and elsewhere in a down to earth approach and will be invaluable to those in fields such as psychosocial, ethics, medical, nursing, religious studies and even law. Health personnel and especially those in critical care and hospice care should find the book useful.
