Those who work in bioethics and the medical humanities come from many different backgrounds, such as health care, philosophy, law, the social sciences, and religious studies. The work they do also varies widely: consulting on ethical issues in patient care, working with legislatures, dealing with the media, teaching, speaking, writing and more.Writing as a participant in this developing field, Judith Andre offers a model to unify its diversity. Using the term bioethics broadly, to include all the medical humanities, she articulates ideals for the field, identifies its temptations and moral pitfalls, and argues for the central importance of certain virtues. Perhaps the most original of these is the virtue of choosing projects well, which demands not only broadening the fields focus but also understanding the forces that have kept it too narrow. Andre offers an imaginative analysis of the special problems presented by interdisciplinary work and discusses the intellectual virtues necessary for its success. She calls attention to the kinds of professional communities that are necessary to support good work.The book draws from interviews with many people in the field and from the findings of social scientists. It includes the authors personal reflections, several extended allegories, and philosophical analysis.

This book has a ton of valuable information, but I found some sections quite heavy to get through. It does provide great frameworks for thinking about ethics in medicine, so it's helpful if you can stick with it. Just be ready to take your time with it!

Not what I expected
I was looking for something more practical, but this book is heavily theoretical. While it has important discussions, it didn't meet my expectations for applied knowledge in bioethics. I’m sure it's useful for some, just not for what I needed.
