Entries that focus on nations and cultures outside the United States provide an international perspective on such issues as abortion, medical triage, social justice, access to health care, and biomedical research. A list of medical codes, information on additional resources in bioethics, a description of key legal cases, a supportive annotated bibliography and filmography, and a rich index round out this new edition. The fourth edition of Bioethics is sure to provide reader with the information necessary to understand the concepts and ethical questions behind many of today's concerns involving biotechnology, health care, and our changing world;  how human should responsibly view and interact with nature; Every day new questions arise from changes in health policy (e.g., the Affordable Care Act), advances in medical science, and the ongoing dilemma of the moral status of the vulnerable, animals, and the environment. With its initial publication in 1978, the Dartmouth Medal-winning Encyclopedia of Bioethics became the first reference work to focus on a then burgeoning field devoted to these questions, in effect helping to define the discipline. The set remains a recognized and trusted source four teachers, students, and those in related fields of health care, philosophy, environmentalism, law, political science, and religious studies. The fourth edition, now simply titled Bioethics, is more a curated collection of thought-provoking articles on current bioethical issues than merely a work of reference. It features 569 authoritative entries on 487 topics, many heavily revised, and includes more than 100 entirely new entries discussing the ethical implications of health care reform, climate change, and emerging reproductive and genetic technologies
