I have not seen anything like it.” —Alan Lightman, author of Einstein’s Dreams  Drawing upon the author’s two decades teaching medical ethics, as well as his work as a practicing psychiatrist, this profound and addictive little book offers up challenging ethical dilemmas and asks readers, What would you do?   ·A daughter gets tested to see if she’s a match to donate a kidney to her father. The test reveals that she is not the man’s biological daughter. Should the doctor tell the father? Or the daughter?   ·A deaf couple prefers a deaf baby. Should they be allowed to use medical technology to ensure they have a child who can’t hear?    ·Who should get custody of an embryo created through IVF when a couple divorces?    ·Or, when you or a loved one is on life support, Who says you’re dead?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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41606729859169,"sku":"9781616209223","price":18.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27923089.jpg?v=1722159653","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781616209223-who-says-youre-dead","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
