Medical Ethics


This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at the Rowland Medical Library. Medical ethics refers to values and guidelines governing decision making in medical practice. These are not laws but standards of conduct which define behavior for the physician. Areas included in the study of medical ethics include doctor-patient relations, withholding or withdrawing treatment, clinical experiments on vulnerable groups, medical control of reproduction, and the right to health care.
