Building on the best-selling tradition of previous editions, Principles ofBiomedical Ethics, Seventh Edition, provides a highly original, practical, andinsightful guide to morality in the health professions. Acclaimed authors TomL. Beauchamp and James F. Childress thoroughly develop and advocate forfour principles that lie at the core of moral reasoning in health care: respect forautonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice. Drawing from contemporaryresearch–and integrating detailed case studies and vivid real-life examples andscenarios–they demonstrate how these prima facie principles can be expandedto apply to various conflicts and dilemmas, from how to deliver bad news towhether or not to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatments.

Illuminating both theory and method throughout, Principles of Biomed-ical Ethics, Seventh Edition, considers what constitutes moral character andaddresses the problem of moral status: what rights are due to people andanimals, and when. It also examines the professional-patient relationship,surveys major philosophical theories–including utilitarianism, Kantianism,rights theory, and virtue theory–and describes methods of moral justificationin bioethics. Ideal for courses in biomedical ethics, bioethics, and health care

Reviews

Some would consider “Principles of Biomedical Ethics” by Tom Beauchampand James Childress a classic in the field. If one judges this solely by thenumber of editions it has gone through, then this would be true. (It isnow in its seventh edition.) However, if one’s criteria include its applicabil-ity to the needs of those entering or currently in the healthcare profession,it is anything but a classic, since it is sorely lacking in concrete, real-life examples.

Beauchamp and Childress discuss some of the standard concepts foundin medical ethics, such as the moral status of patients, patient autonomy,beneficense, nonmaleficence, and medical staff-patient relationships, but theydo so in what is for the most part a highly abstract fashion, only occasionallygiving what passes as a practical example. (I say “what passes as,” because it isevident that at least some of these are the type of examples that professionalphilosophers think up rather than citing real examples of real people who havereal problems that are being treated by real professionals in the real medicalcommunity.)

This book might be useful in a graduate seminar in a philosophy de-partment. However, its description on Amazon bills it as appropriate forundergraduate courses in bioethics and healthcare ethics. These are the coursesthat people intending to go into the healthcare professions take to fulfill arequirement for graduation from their program. They are not planning onbecoming professors of philosophy. What Beauchamp and Childress have tooffer is largely irrelevant to their needs.

I have nearly 30 years’ experience teaching philosophy. Two years ago Iwas asked to teach biomedical ethics for the first time. The first section I taughtthe text had already been assigned.
