“The argument of the book is, in short, that the incipient collapse of the Hippocratic tradition is leading to the development of a ‘new medicine’ in which the moral vision that has driven medicine is being displaced… The life issues encompass both the old questions of abortion and euthanasia – ancient vices that our ancestors believed the spread of Judeo-Christian values had put to flight, but these have come back to haunt us at we move beyond the Judeo-Christian moral consensus.” From the preface.
