Medical morality has three components. Physicians, patients, communities, and policy makers have beliefs about what is good and bad character, and right and wrong behavior, in patient care, biomedical research, medical education, and health policy. On the basis of these beliefs, physicians, patients, communities, and policy makers make judgments about how physicians ought to conduct themselves in patient care, research, education, and the formation and implementation of health policy. They then act on their judgments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis second edition of Historical Dictionary of Medical Ethics contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography.
