Description
Primum non nocere (above all, do no harm)...although this maxim has existed for over twenty five centuries, its context is still
applicable today.
It is in this concept that the book essentially aims for ethical considerations concerning advanced biotechnologies
or advanced prospects in pediatric culture. The second edition introduces new subjects and updates the traditional issues of discipline
to a growing field of application beyond the original confines inspired by new technologies which are capable of changing life in its
duration, in its quality in terms of health.
Pediatricians cope everyday with bioethical problems. Today, it appears indispensable
to know and ponder the bioethical effects of these problems in order to achieve the most dignified and compassionate qualification of
pediatric professionalism.
Audience
Paediatricians
