Synopsis

Wesley J. Smith explores a concerning shift in American medicine, moving from a system valuing the sanctity of human life to a utilitarian model. He reveals how doctors may deny care based on 'Futile Care Theory' and how bioethicists influence policies regarding the terminally ill and disabled. This book offers a passionate yet reasoned look at the current crisis in medical ethics.
