I can hardly believe I am the first person to review this great book.
I attended Dr. Jonsen's presentation at the Founders of Bioethics Conference at Edinboro University in Pennsylvania. As a complete novice to ethics, I was very impressed by the way he presented the facts of a case, engaged the ethical dilemma, and detailed the relevant ethical principles that led to a resolution. This book is no different.
The book is arranged into a series of questions under four topics: Medical Indications (the appropriate treatment given the patient's medical problem), Patient Preferences (patient autonomy, decisional capacity, prior declaration of preferences, surrogate decision-making), Quality of Life (especially the disconnect between a patient's self-reported quality of life and that judged by an outside agent such as the doctor or family member), and Contextual Features (the impact of family members, insurance companies, social health policy, religion, etc). The end of each chapter also includes a few notes about pediatric cases with references to other works for more in-depth coverage.
In the process of answering the five to ten broad questions under each of the Four Topics, the authors present a plethora of cases (both real and constructed) designed to reinforce the understanding of the ethical principles involved, showcase how a small change in details can change the resolution of an ethical dilemma, and challenge the reader to resolve the issues. The cases are set apart from the text by the use of a blue font, making them easy to find. Each case is followed by a Commentary wherein the authors elucidate the issues at hand and a Resolution detailing their conclusion for the case.
