The ethical theories employed in health care today assume, in the main, a modern Western philosophical framework. Yet the diversity of cultural and religious assumptions regarding human nature, health and illness, life and death, and the status of the individual suggest that a cross-cultural study of health care ethics is needed. A Cross-Cultural Dialogue on Health Care Ethics provides this study. It shows that ethical questions can be resolved by examining the ethical principles present in each culture, critically assessing each value, and identifying common values found within all traditions, It encourages the development of global awareness and sensitivity to and respect for the diversity of peoples and their values and will advance understanding as well as help to foster a greater balance and a fuller truth in consideration of the human condition and what makes for health and wholeness.

Les innovations technologiques modifient en profondeur la pratique de la médecine et des autres disciplines de la santé. Elles transforment aussi les exigences des malades quant à leur traitement et leur qualité de vie, ainsi que les demandes de leurs proches. Dans ce contexte, les frontières sont souvent brouillées entre ce qui est moralement acceptable et ce qui ne l'est pas. Ce livre s'adresse aux professionnels de la santé et aux membres des comités d'éthique, que leur pratique amène régulièrement à traiter de ces enjeux. À partir de problèmes comme ceux de diagnostic prénatal, de demande d'aide au suicide ou d'alimentation artificielle, Jocelyne Saint-Arnaud établit des repères utiles pour s'y retrouver. Elle se rattache au courant de la bioéthique qu'on appelle l'approche par principes, qui effectue un aller-retour constant des possibilités ouvertes par la technologie aux principes qui devraient les encadrer minimalement.
