“Perhaps the best text of its kind for undergraduate courses in Health Care Ethics and Health Science programs. It requires no previous knowledge of philosophy, is full of relevant and interesting case studies, and contains the most up-to-date information concerning health law and precedent-setting cases in a Canadian context. Maybe best of all, it’s sure to prove a powerful generator of class discussion.” — David C. Flagel, University of New Brunswick “This new and improved edition of Well and Good offers an impressive selection of cases on a broad range of topics. An outstanding resource.” — David Rondel, University of Nevada, Reno

It illuminates both the moral and the technical aspects of the field. - Daniel Callahan, Hastings Center There are so few books like this ... very helpful in showing how ethical theory can be applied in real life. - Mary Bockover, University of California, Santa Barbara Well and Good covers a diverse range of issues using medically detailed cases. I particularly like how it addresses clinic and home settings as well as hospitals. - Connie Perry, Allegheny University of the Health Sciences
