Abstract

Based on six King's College London debates, this book explores the moral dilemmas raised by modern medicine. The public debates tackled issues such as health and poverty, bioengineering, euthanasia and mental health. In each of the six topics, two speakers exchanged views and their talks are published in this volume, along with a commentary on the questions and discussions that followed.
