Description
This volume provides a practical overview of the ethical issues arising in pediatric practice, and is an essential resource for all physicians who care for children, as well as medical educators, residents and scholars in clinical bioethics.

The case-based approach grounds the bioethical concepts in real-life situations, covering a broad range of important and controversial topics, including informed consent, confidentiality, truthfulness and fidelity, ethical issues relating to perinatology and neonatology, end-of-life issues, new technologies, and problems of justice and public health in pediatrics. A dedicated section also addresses the topics of professionalism, including boundary issues, conflicts of interests and relationships with industry, ethical issues arising during training, and dealing with the impaired or unethical colleague. Each chapter contains a summary of the key issues covered and recommendations for approaching similar situations in other contexts.
  • Provides a practical case-based overview of the ethical issues faced by those caring for children in a healthcare environment
  • Covers professional topics not traditionally addressed by pediatric ethics books, including boundary issues, the impaired provider and relationships with industry
  • Includes practical summaries and recommendations, making this a key resource for clinicians, educators and trainees
