Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven but Nobody Wants to Die: Bioethics and the Transformation of Health Care in America by Jonathan D. Moreno, Amy Gutmann
3.0
Good intro to bioethics and the uneven distribution of healthcare and resources. There is even a pandemic afterword that is pretty informative and interesting since we are still living with those consequences.
I’m giving it three stars because it’s a solid introductory course to bioethics. If you’ve already taken some courses in bioethics, or do work where these discussions happen regularly, you may already be familiar with the ideas here. Then it’s mostly review with some of the more well-known cases discussed. Good refresher.
The “death with dignity” discussion and the pandemic afterword were the most informative for me.
