520			_a"'Pharmacy Ethics and Decision Making' is an introduction to professional ethics and accountability for practising pharmacists. It provides a grounding in moral philosophy and its application to key concepts such as human rights, consent, confidentiality and the care of vulnerable patients in pharmacy practice. It will also help pharmacists to debate and influence their involvement and positions on issues such as: palliative care and the end of life; emergency contraception; new technologies in pharmacogenetics; use of animals in research; ethical issues in clinical trials; and global aspects of pharmaceutical marketing." -- Publisher's website
