Doctors, Honour and the Law: Medical Ethics in Imperial Germany

Doctors, Honour and the Law: Medical Ethics in Imperial Germany by A. Maehle
English | 2009 | ISBN: 1349363138, 9781349363131 | 198 Pages | PDF | 1.18 MB

Medical ethics in Imperial Germany were entangled with professional, legal and social issues. This book shows how doctors' ethical decision-making was led by their notions of male honour, professional politics and a paternalistic doctor-patient relationship rather than concern for patients' interests or the right of the sick to self-determination.
