Beyond Brain Death

The Case Against Brain Based Criteria for Human Death

Produktform: Buch / Einband - fest (Hardcover)

offers a provocative challenge to one of the most widely accepted conclusions of contemporary bioethics: the position that brain death marks the death of the human person.

This book will appeal to a wide audience, including physicians and other health care professionals, philosophers, theologians, medical sociologists, and social workers. weiterlesen
