Praying for a Cure

When Medical and Religious Practices Conflict

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Three medical ethicists take varied and often opposing stands on the ethical, social, and political issues that arise when religious and medical practices conflict. The interchange focuses on the tensions between the belief systems, institutional practices, and health-related decisions of Christian Scientists and those of a secularized medically oriented, broader society.
