Writing is always a collaboration. While writers have
unique ways of seeing the world, they are influenced
y their experiences, research, and education.
Therefore, I dedicate this edition of Health Care
Ethics: Critical Issues for the 21st Century to all
those who contributed to chapters in this work
and those who supported me through its creation.
First, there is my immediate family, Grant, Kate,
Emery Aidan, and Mo
igan Leigh, who listened and
encouraged. There are also colleagues, relatives,
and friends who provided feedback and a lift of
spirit when I needed it. Finally, there is my publisher,
Michael Brown; my coeditor, Beth Furlong; and my
Jones & Bartlett Learning editor, Danielle Bessette.
They each added much to the quality and integrity of
this work.

Mentors facilitate one’s journey. My gratitude goes
to Dr. Amy Haddad and colleagues at Creighton
University’s Center for Health Policy and Ethics. I value
the ever-present support of my husband, Robert
Ramaley. Furthering the ethics education of others
with this book is possible because of the collegiality
and support of my coeditor, Dr. Eileen Mo
ison. It has
een a professional pleasure to work with her.
