Bioethics : ethics of life

That promoting of human life is the root of Bioethics is best emphasized in this most welcome publication by Father Fausto B. Gomez, OP. In medical school, emphasis is made on teaching of diagnosis and treatment of diseases. An important consideration should always be to put the teaching of Bioethics in our decision-making. Ethical appreciation is part of being a good doctor. Advances in medical technology seem to be moving so rapidly that we need to catch up with its bioethical consequences. We need to be guided on topics relevant to present day practice in medicine. This book can truly serve as a ready reference for busy healthcare providers. --- Esperanza “Ching” F.
