The issues of medical ethics, from moral quandaries of euthanasia and the morality of killing to political dilemmas like fair healthcare distribution, are rarely out of today's media. This area of ethics covers a wide range of issues, from mental health to reproductive medicine, as well as including management issues such as resource allocation, and has proven to hold enduring interest for the general public as well as the medical practitioner. This Very Short Introduction provides an invaluable tool with which to think about the ethical values that lie at the heart of medicine.

This new edition explores the ethical reasoning we can use to approach medical ethics, introducing the most important 'tools' of ethical reasoning, and discussing how argument, thought experiments, and intuition can be combined in the consideration of medical ethics. Considering its practical application, Tony Hope and Michael Dunn explore how medical ethics supports health professionals through the growing use of ethics expertise in clinical settings. They also contemplate the increasingly important place of medical ethics in the wider social context, particularly in this age of globalization, not only in healthcare practice, but also policy, discussions in the media, pressure group and activism settings, and in legal judgments.

Cut tight, good quality and price.
Color: Sky Blue, Size: Medium
Well made, the material is soft, and comfortable. It’s tight without being clingy. It didn’t shrink when I dried it on medium. The color is as shown and its not see through but is cut tight. So if you have a little extra weight in your stomach area it will not be flattering. Great price and good quality. I’m 5’6, 138lbs, and wear a 36C. I bought a size medium.

True to size & color, modest cut, fitted style
Color: Purple, Size: Small
The cut on these tops are perfect. It's a nice v-neck without being revealing. Thick straps and solid back so your bra doesn't show. Sizing is accurate in my case. 5'6" 130lbs chest 34" waist 26" hips 39" and I ordered the small which is fitted on me. I ordered the lavender purple and a black one and both colors are correct in shade. Soft and stretchy material. I air dry them mostly and only gentle low on the dryer if needed and have not had any shrinking.

Great top for summer!
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large
I bought one of these. The v-neck and fit of the tank top is amazing! Flattering! I loved it so much I ordered two more. Great summer tank! Washes and dries fabulously as well. I am 5’4” 150lbs, wear a medium or size 8-10. I purchased a large and love the look. It fits well, not too tight but hugs the body. Not oversized.

Comfortable Fit without over compression
Size: 38B, Color: Gentle Rose
This is a good post surgical bra. I had a lumpectomy and it gave me enough support without being too tight. It is adjustable in the front and the shoulders. Use the size chart to get your best fit. Soft material. Comfortable enough I wore it 24/7 for a couple days. Only downside is handwashing but I will try the delicate cycle on my machine and air dry always.
