Anotacija:

     "This is a wonderful book. Like William May's other writings, it is clear, imaginative, incisive, and powerful. It illuminates the ethics of the patient and the patient's family, not simply the ethics of the professional. Rarely has anyone in biomedical ethics focused on the patient's ordeal, and no one has ever done it better than May does in this splendid and important book." - James F. Childress Kyle Professor of Religious Studies and Professor of Medical Education, University of Virginia.
