Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven but Nobody Wants to Die by Amy Gutmann, Jonathan D. Moreno An incisive examination of bioethics and American healthcare, and their profound affects on American culture over the last sixty years. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Shockingly, the United States has among the lowest life expectancies and highest infant mortality rates of any high-income nation, yet, as Amy Gutmann and Jonathan D. Moreno show, we spend twice as much per capita on medical care without insuring everyone. A ?remarkable, highly readable journey? (Judy Woodruff ) sure to become a classic on bioethics, Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven but Nobody Wants to Die explores the troubling contradictions between expanding medical research and neglecting human rights, from testing anthrax vaccines on children to using brain science for marketing campaigns. Providing ?a clear and compassionate presentation? (Library Journal) of such complex topics as radical changes in doctor-patient relations, legal controversies over in vitro babies, experiments on humans, unaffordable new drugs, and limited access to hospice care, this urgent and incisive history is ?required reading for anyone with a heartbeat? (Andrea Mitchell). Author Biography Amy Gutmann, the eighth president of the University of Pennsylvania, is an award-winning political theorist. She served on President Obamas bioethics commission. Jonathan D. Moreno is a Penn Integrates Knowledge University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He served on President Obamas bioethics commission. Review Amy Gutmann and Jonathan Morenos groundbreaking Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven But Nobody Wants to Die should be required reading for anyone with a heartbeat who wants to understand the ethical and practical contradictions of our cultural obsession with prolonging life at all costs.--Andrea Mitchell, anchor of NBC News Review Quote "The age-old debate about health care--what we owe each other as we all become sick--has rarely been able to transcend the superficial and frustratingly binary arguments of the politics that has held a meaningful discussion hostage. This superb book is a refreshing departure." Details ISBN087140446X Author Jonathan D.
