This book builds an essential bridge between bioethics, care, and technology. In this insightful and inspiring reflection on human beings and their environment, Brannigan invites his readers to reflect on the meaning of care in the technological world. Hence, this brilliant book invites specialists, scholars, health care professionals and the large audience to question the meaning of bioethics today and to revise its structure in theory and practice in order to be able to provide care for the present and future society. It is a must read. -- Susi Ferrarello, California State University Michael Brannigan is one of our leading commentators on healthcare policy and ethics. In this fascinating but compassionate work, he begins with the failure to protect the elderly in nursing homes during COVID-19. He considers what the future of caring might be like and to what extent we can look forward to a new order of caring robots or carebots. Brannigan is well-informed about these issues, and his book thinks through some of the future possibilities of healthcare. But more than anything else, he offers us a timely meditation on the nature of caring as our 'most noble human vocation.' -- Richard White, Creighton University This is a fantastic book! One rarely finds serious issues handled in such an eloquent, lucid, and engrossing way. Insightful, far-sighted, and cogently argued, Brannigan's book is a must for everyone interested in our uses of AI, robots, and the future of medicine, as well as how we define our shared humanity. -- Robet Paul Churchill, George Washington University
