This revised and updated second edition contains the original's twenty-six cases, with commentary and bibliographic resources designed for medical students and the training of ethics consultants. It also includes thirteen new cases, including five "skill builder" cases aimed at persons conducting clinical ethics case consultations.

A collection of thirty-one cases and commentaries that addresses ethical problems commonly encountered by the average health care professional, not just those working on such high-tech specialties as organ transplants or genetic engineering.

Both communitarianism and casuistry have sought to restore ethics as a practical science - the former by incorporating various traditions into a shared definition of the common good, the latter by considering the circumstances of each situation through critical reasoning. This title analyzes the origins and methods of these two approaches.
