- This book makes significant contributions to three distinct areas of medical ethics: decision making about what treatment to have, the ethical implications of the role of the family in the delivery of treatment, and questions about responsibility in cases where patients do not comply with agreed treatment plans. It does so by creating a sustained challenge to the dominant paradigm in medical ethics, and working out the implications of that across the lifespan of treatments.
