This book is amazing! it is concise, readable, comprehensive, entertaining, understandable and above all fascinating and challenging! It is written in plain English, rather than the staid academic style that I am so used to. It challenged my very beliefs - I'd not even thought about the right not to know about medical conditions. This book was exciting and one of the best reads I've had in the non fiction field. I am a MSc student, but not in medical ethics. Therefore I cannot comment about the accuracy or politics of this book, as it is the only book that I've read (and re-read!!) so far in this field. All medical, nursing & midwifery students should read this book. I wish that I had it when I was in training in the late 1980s. Huge value for money. The only criticism that I have is that it needs updating in light of the new judgements about rights to be kept alive, rights to die and neonatal medicine. Buy this book now!!
