Description for Medicine Health and Bioethics Essential Primary Sources by K Lee Lerner and Brenda Wilmoth Lerner

Medicine, Health, and Bioethics: Essential Primary Sources (Social Issues Primary Sources Collection) by K. Lee Lerner and Brenda Wilmoth Lerner
Publisher: Gale Cengage | June 2, 2006 | ISBN: 1414406231 | Pages: 513 | PDF | 9.38 MB
Grade 9 Up–Speeches, legislation, articles, letters, interviews, literature, photographs, personal essays, and advertisements have been selected to represent a sweeping view of events over the last 200 years. The volume opens with an extensive chronology. Next are 160 articles, divided into 8 sections: Biomedical Science, Clinical Medicine, War and Medicine, Industry and Medicine, Public Health, Wellness and Health, Alternative Medicine, and Bioethics. Each selection includes an essay discussing the significance of the document, information on its author, notes providing historical and social context, and a list of further resources. The materials, some complete and others excerpted, are presented mostly chronologically within each section.

Documents on hot-button issues include a 2004 United Nations report on human cloning, a 2005 newspaper report on Terri Schiavo's death, and a 2004 report on stem-cell research from the President's Council on Bioethics. Of historical interest are entries on early developments in antiseptic surgery, identification of particular bacteria, and Florence Nightingale's commentary On the State of Rural Hygiene. While a document may represent a particular viewpoint, the ensuing commentary presents a balanced discussion. Well-captioned black-and-white photographs aid in establishing context. An overload of headings and subheadings tends to obscure the primary-source documents themselves and compromise the presentation. Readers may take some time figuring out just how this book works, although the index is helpful.
