Bioethical Issues ; Biomedical Technology ; Congresses ; Ethics, Medical ; Ethics, Nursing ; Genetic Screening ; Medical Laboratory ScienceAbstract: This book highlights both the relation between technology and care, and the normative aspects of economic analyses in health care. A series of concrete examples from various clinical fields (prenatal diagnosis, genetic tests, digital imaging in psychiatry, tube feeding in care for the elderly, and palliative sedation) helps the authors to consider how to integrate these technologies in a care context aimed upon humaneness. Each topic is analysed by leading European clinicians and health care ethicists. Contents note: "Collection of the contributions to an international conference, held in Brussels on October 18-19, 2002, under the auspices of Caritas Vlaanderen in cooperation with the Faculty of Medicine of the Catholic University of Leuven"--P. 9.
