Combining international and interdisciplinary perspectives, the Handbook provides a cutting-edge account of debates in five key areas:- health care ethics in an era of globalization- beginning and end-of-life- vulnerable populations- research ethics and technologies- public health and human rights.This authoritative Handbook brings together experts with backgrounds in philosophy, sociology, law, public policy and the health professions and reflects the increasing impact of globalisation and the dynamic advances in the fields of bioscience and genetics, which keep ethics at the centre of debates about the future direction of healthcare. It is an invaluable resource for all students, practitioners, academics and researchers investigating ethical issues in relation to healthcare.
