The Resource A cross-cultural dialogue on health care ethics, edited by Harold Coward and Pinit Ratanakul

A cross-cultural dialogue on health care ethics, edited by Harold Coward and Pinit Ratanakul

Contributor
Summary
"The ethical theories employed in health care today assume, in the main, a modern Western philosophical framework. Yet the diversity of cultural and religious assumptions regarding human nature, health and illness, life and death, and the status of the individual suggest that a cross-cultural study of health care ethics is needed." "A Cross-Cultural Dialogue on Health Care Ethics provides this study. It shows that ethical questions can be resolved by examining the ethical principles present in each culture, critically assessing each value, and identifying common values found within all traditions."--Jacket
