Part 1. Inside the mind of a doctor -- Part 2. Body parts -- Part 3. Making babies -- Part 4. The good of the many -- Part 5. Practical matters -- Part 6. End-of-life issues.
"In short, engaging scenarios, Dr. Appel takes on hot-button issues that many of us will confront: genetic screening, sexuality, privacy, doctor-patient confidentiality. He unpacks each hypothetical with a brief reflection drawing from science, philosophy, and history, explaining how others have approached these controversies in real-world cases. Who Says You're Dead? is designed to defy easy answers and to stimulate thought and even debate among professionals and armchair ethicists alike." --Amazon.
