In the Fifth Edition of Bioethics and Public Health Law, financial and ethical issues are integrated into a concise and engaging treatment. This book is based on Part I “The Provider and the Patient” and Part II “The Patient, Provider, and the State,” from Health Care Law and Ethics, Tenth Edition, and adds material on organ transplantation, research ethics, and other topics. The complex relationship between patients, providers, the state, and public health institutions are explored through high-interest cases, informative notes, and compelling problems.

    • Changes to organ allocation rules and attempts to revise “brain death” and the “dead donor rule” in organ transplantation
