In Bioethics in Context, Gary Jones and Joseph DeMarco connect ethical theory, medicine, and the law, guiding readers toward a practical and legally grounded understanding of key issues in health-care ethics. This book is uniquely up-to-date in its discussion of health-care law and unpacks the complex web of American policies, including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Useful case studies and examples are embedded throughout, and a companion website offers a thorough, curated database of relevant legal precedents as well as additional case studies and other resources.

Industry Reviews

"This is a terrific, highly engaging introduction to bioethics. It gives practitioners and students of medicine, nursing, and law the language, theoretical background, and basic legal knowledge to join the conversation about important contemporary problems in bioethics, and it includes plenty of practice thinking through knotty problems." -Michelle M. Mello, Stanford Law School

"Bioethics in Context is a welcome book for bioethics instructors. Most bioethics issues are inextricably tied to legal concerns, so they cannot be understood without an appreciation of the current laws. This text is unique in its recognition of the importance of this relationship. It addresses the ethical and legal issues together, providing a robust understanding of the topics. The authors have done an admirable job of making both ethics and the law accessible for students." -Joan McGregor, Arizona State University

"Bioethics in Context should be enthusiastically received by teachers of biomedical ethics. Gary Jones and Joseph DeMarco provide up-to-date coverage of all the principal issues in the field, masterfully discussing the main positions, arguments, and contributors to current debates. The authors provide a wealth of concrete case studies and emphasize how ethical, legal, and social norms intersect and sometimes conflict. Highly recommended." -David Svolba, Fitchburg State University
