This book provides a comprehensive survey of ethical issues raised by advanced medical
technologies. The field s leading authorities explore how artificial intelligence, telehealth,
robot caregivers, genetic therapies and enhancement, stem cell research,
neurotechnology, electronic health records, data collection, and digital nudging are
reshaping the landscape of medical practice. Organized around core ethical themes, the
chapters consider how new and emerging technologies transform personal identity, the provider-patient relationship, privacy and autonomy, and social equity. Contributors clarify
the complex values involved in medical innovation and practice, and explore what is at
stake in the current ethical debates around these issues. While offering a valuable
introduction for advanced students, professional philosophers, medical ethicists, and
policymakers, this book also advances the scholarly discussion by presenting original
theses and arguments, making it essential reading for specialists.
