Reviews
So what remains for me here is overall to recommend this book as a fine introductory book on bioethics, and to join the authors in calling for what they designate as 'critical rationalism: the ability to stand back from one's beliefs, to be self-aware, to be mindful, to admit one might be wrong, and to learn from one's errors' (p. 359).I will certainly assign this book to my students. * Zohar Lederman, Rambam Medical Campus, Haifa, Israel, Bioethics *
From 3/e: "Doing Right is the clearest, most complete, and functional articulation of the ethical landscape of modern Canadian medical practice. There is no other textbook presently available that does what this book does so well." * Ken Kirkwood, Western University *
The reading style is very engaging and concise-far more palatable than some theoretically dense texts. The liberal use of case studies underscores the relevance to daily practice-something that medical students find very appealing." * Stacy Ackroyd-Stolarz, Dalhousie University *
