Description
Summary:Bioethics and Armed Conflict: Moral Dilemmas of Medicine and War, by Michael Gross. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2006. 384 pp. $26.00.To the uninitiated, the phrase “military medical ethics” probably signals triage (methods for sorting casualties) and the neutrality of medical personnel in battle zones. There is, however, a lot more to it than that, as this excellent book by Michael L. Gross shows. Gross is a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Haifa and has published extensively in bioethics and the ethics of war.
