'This small, slim book can only be commended.. For students who want - or need - a very basic text to introduce them to the subject, I could not recommend anything better.' - Verena Tschudin, Nursing Ethics

'I can recommend this book as a very useful, easily accessible resource book for health care workers.' - Mary Byrne, Bioethics Outlook, March 2001

'Short introductions to anything are very appealing to me as they usually provide principles upon which I can develop ideas and pursue other reading. In this respect Helen Watt does not disappoint. She has created an introduction to a number of life and death issues that all of us could face via the exploration of actual cases... Additional notes, at the end of the book, provide the reader with a wide range of potential reading material. Should you buy the book? Buy it or borrow it, it is a book worth reading because its content is very applicable to A&E work.' - Lynn C. Sbaih, Accident and Emergency Nursing, 2002

'Compact and at the same time profound...an interesting and original work.' - Medicine, Healthcare and Philosophy

Helen Watt is Research Fellow at the Linacre Centre for Healthcare Ethics in London.
