Description
Jonsen (medical history and ethics, U. of Washington Medical School) addresses the conflict between altruism and self-interest, which he believes is built into the structure of medical care and woven into the fabric of physicians' lives. Ranging through history from the mythical Asclepius to the latest recipient of a transplanted heart, he reformulates the old ethics in terms that bring justice, competence, and compassion to bear on contemporary biomedical dilemmas.
