Bioethical issues and the moral matrix of U.S. health care.
Solutions to ethical-moral issues will be influenced by the growth of medical technology, by the escalating cost of medical care, and by the involvement of public entities in health care delivery. The major areas of concern that will be affected by these factors are care of the dying, genetics, euthanasia, sterilization, behavior control, reproductive interventions, abortion, informed consent, and distributive justice.
