Who says you're dead?

Medical & ethical dilemmas for the curious & concerned

Who says you're dead?

Medical & ethical dilemmas for the curious & concerned
Jacob M Appel MD
Electronic Audio - 2019

Drawing upon the author's two decades teaching medical ethics, as well as his work as a practicing psychiatrist, this profound and addictive little book offers up challenging ethical dilemmas and asks listeners, What would you do? - A daughter gets tested to see if she's a match to donate a kidney to her father. The test reveals that she is not the man's biological daughter. Should the doctor tell the father? Or the daughter? - A deaf couple prefers a deaf baby. Should they be allowed to use medical technology to ensure they have a child who can't hear? - Who should get custody of an embryo created through IVF when a couple divorces? - Or, when you or a loved one is on life support, Who says you're dead? In short, engaging scenarios, Dr. Appel takes on hot-button issues that many of us will confront: genetic screening, sexuality, privacy, doctor-patient confidentiality. He unpacks each hypothetical with a brief reflection drawing from science, philosophy, and history, explaining how others have approached these controversies in real-world cases. Who Says You're Dead? is designed to defy easy answers and to stimulate thought and even debate among professionals and armchair ethicists alike.
