Well and Good presents a combination of “classic” and little-known but real-life cases. Included are a range of cases involving nurses and other health professionals as well as many involving doctors. The cases in the main body of the book are accompanied by the editors’ impartial discussions of the issues involved. The final section is comprised of unanalysed cases for further study.
For the new edition, the introduction has been expanded to include discussions of feminist bioethics and of virtue ethics, alongside the Kantian, Rossian and utilitarian frameworks discussed in previous editions. Most of the existing cases have been updated to reflect these additional foci, and four analysed cases have been added. Several cases have been added to the group of unanalysed cases, which now includes questions for discussion. Among cases new to this edition are the “mercy killing” case of Robert Latimer, the assisted suicide of Sue Rodriguiez, the pregnancy solvent-abuse case of Ms. G., and a case involving sex-selection and abortion on gender grounds.
