Access restricted by licensing agreement.

Film and literature have long been mined for interesting examples and case studies in order to teach biomedical ethics to students. This volume presents a collection of about eighty very brief, accessible chapters written by international experts from medicine, social sciences, and the humanities, all of whom have experience using film in their teaching of medical ethics. Each chapter focuses on a single scene and the ethical issues it raises.
