Academics in ethics, philosophy, economics, and all healthcare disciplines will find it useful, as will public health specialists, health economists, and social scientists with an interest in health and medicine. The authors of this book have opened up significant new perspectives on many important issues which in practice confront politicians, managers, professionals, patients and the public today.
