What Would You Do? by Charles L Bosk
How has bioethics evolved into a legitimate specialty? When is such expertise necessary? How do bioethicists make their decisions? And whose interests do they serve? This book addresses these questions while reflecting on the ethical dilemmas that the author's ethnographic research among surgeons and genetic counselors has provoked.
"Bosk provides in these pages a rich and rigorous account of the ways in which medical ethics, ethnography, and social science illuminate the human conditionHe is the finest ethnographer of his generation, and he offers to future generations a standard of ethnographic practice and reflection that is unrivaled in its appreciation of the nuances and complexities of making sense of people's lives." - Jonathan B. Imber, Wellesley College"
Charles L. Bosk is professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of Forgive and Remember: Managing Medical Failure and All God's Mistakes: Genetic Counseling in a Pediatric Hospital, both published by the University of Chicago Press.
