Description

Specialists in medical ethics update their 1996 guide for practitioners with new discussions on such topics as futility, organ donation and procurement, the physical treatment of relatives, research by a treating physician, complementary and alternative medicine, direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs, and genetic testing. The case studies and commentary were developed from 1990 to 2003 under the auspices of the College's Ethics and Human Rights Committee, and have been published in similar form in the ACP Observer.
