Description
Difficult decisions in the era of medical miracles. The author of the book is a prominent American internist, medical ethicist, and university educator. The core message of the book is urgent: because we are all mortal, it is absolutely essential for us to accept this fact and learn to live with this universal condition. Modern medicine wields tremendous power to extend human life using the latest technologies. However, what means healing for some patients is merely prolonging the dying process for others. Do we want this for ourselves, for our loved ones? How do we regulate what we still want from healing and what we no longer want? What should we do now to live in the future as we wish? The book was translated by Lenka Kapsová, and the cover features a painting by Marie Muravski.
