Description
Summary:... The essays in this issue of the Journal highlight the types of insights that nursing ethics brings to health care ethics, in general, and attempt to address questions about the adequacy of the conceptual and theoretical foundations of bioethics for a practice discipline like nursing. The essays are written by nurses and non-nurses and bring a surprising balance to the discussion of important issues in nursing ethics from several perspectives. The essays do not represent the full scope of philosophical thought and normative judgements in nursing ethics at the present time, but they do provide a view of nursing ethics through the lens of nursing ethics research, past and present.

Roth and Janet K. Harrison, and Kevin Wildes].
