The revised edition of this popular book includes an expanded introduction and eight new cases; these deal with such important issues as AIDS, fetal tissue transplants, the rights of male partners in abortion decisions, anencephalic infants as organ donors, and the allocation of scarce medical resources. Also include at the end of the book are ten new unanalyzed cases, allowing readers to test their own skills in handling ethical conflicts in medicine without the promptings of the authors.
