Biography
Robert F. Card is Professor of Philosophy at the State University of New York Oswego. He has been Fellow in Clinical Ethics and Visiting Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), as well as Scholar in Residence in the Division of Medical Humanities and Bioethics at URMC.
"Card’s position is quite original and distinctive in the debate. While building on his previous defences of the ‘reasonability view’, his book also provides original and thought-provoking insights into the justification and the implications of this view."
Alberto Giubilini & Francesca Minerva in Bioethics
Card brings useful perspective to a problem that may become increasingly prevalent in a polarized society, where diversity of beliefs may conflict with the need to provide medical services considered controversial by some. Summing Up: Recommended."
