This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the ethical complexities unique to surgical practice. Grounded in the foundational principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice, it adapts each to the high-stakes, often urgent nature of surgical decision-making. The historical evolution of medical ethics--from ancient philosophy to modern bioethics--sets the stage for a nuanced discussion of autonomy, particularly the role of informed consent in respecting patient self-determination. The text addresses challenges in emergency contexts and ethically sensitive areas like euthanasia, abortion, and assisted reproduction.
