Changing Values in Medical and Healthcare Decision-Making

Papers presented at the second conference of the European Society for Philosophy of Medicine and Health Care. Topics addressed include resource allocation, medical malpractice, changes in clinical practice, the effects of social change and the place of values in health care.
This book originated in an international conference on "Values in medical Decision Making" held at the University of Aarhus, Denmark, in June 1988. This was the second conference of the European Society for Philosophy of Medicine and Health Care (ESPMH), which was founded in Maastricht, the Netherlands, in 1987. ESPMH aims at promoting philosophy of medicine and health care in a wide sense and at stimulating contacts between European scholars in this field.
