Donald Evans – författare

Written by a leading proponent of the philosophy and ethics of healthcare, this volume is filled with thought-provoking and frequently controversial ideas and arguments. Accessibly written, it provides readers with a timely contribution to the current literature on medical ethics, in which the concept of subjectivity is a key issue characterizing current medical humanities.

Examining the critical assumption that scientifically-demonstrable facts will remove all uncertainty, the author argues that ethical dimensions of clinical practice do not always arise from undisputed facts, but that they are sometimes to be found at the level of the determinations of the facts themselves.

Firmly placing the patient back on centre stage, without underestimating the crucial role which science plays in modern medicine, this volume is an excellent account of ethics and science in healthcare and their proper place in assessing and meeting people’s health needs.

With any criminal case, the defendants are presented, their means and motives are detailed in an effort to determine the truth of the guilt or innocence of the accused. The same process is true in The Sin Paradox, the case against Adam, Eve, and the Serpent.

The difference is their guilt has been determined. Their punishments have been handed down. All that is left to discover is what their actual crime was. They clearly broke the commands of God. The question remains, what was that very specific overt action? What did they actually do which disobeyed God? What was mankind''s first or Original Sin?

The actions of Adam, Eve, and the Serpent brought on themselves and all of creation the righteous judgment of God. What could two people who have nothing, not even clothing do to directly affect all of humanity, human history, even all of creation itself?
