Biografisk notat
OUP author of Doctors' DilemmasI could not say that it is a duty of everyone to read this book, but they will miss a considerable pleasure if they do not. In particular, it is the sort of book that any health care student would find illuminating to read before venturing onto the wards.
Bulletin of Medical Ethics
Philosopher Samuel Gorovitz spent seven weeks at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital observing life at one of the nation's premier teaching hospitals. In Drawing the Line, Gorovitz provides an intense, disturbing, and insightful account of his observations during those seven weeks. He examines the ethical questions that permeate hospital life: who should be making life and death decisions - and how should they be made? How should scarce medical resources be allocated? What rules should govern the use of foetal tissue in research and treatment? Where should we draw the line, and how?
