Bioethics in a Liberal Society Summary

Bioethics in a Liberal Society: The Political Framework of Bioethics Decision Making by Thomas May (Medical College of Wisconsin)

May discusses the fundamental features of a liberal society- chiefly, the individual's rights to make decisions for him- or herself-then applies them in the most important relational issues in health care: patients' autonomy and professionals' rights of conscience. Issues concerning patients' rights are at the center of bioethics, but the political basis for these rights has rarely been examined

Bioethics in a Liberal Society Reviews

May's book is a helpful overview and introduction to the political framework of bioethics decision making within a liberal society. It touches explicitly on the issues of perceived and actual lack of competence, substituted decision making, advanced directives and the important roles of ethics committees and consultants. There is no doubt that this book marks an important contribution to the literature. -- Christopher Newell, Ph.D. Metapsychology
