From the reviews:
"Corrado Viafora ... has assembled essays from a clinical bioethics conference which reflect a large and enduring perspective on the origins of clinical ethics and its future. ... I recommend this book to those who seek a deeper understanding of bioethics as it is rooted in both ancient and recent philosophy and in the practical search for consensus in modern clinical dilemmas. ... this collection is helpful when considering the plurality of world views and value systems of both patients and physicians."
