"For its strong, well-argued positions, its documentation and references, and its assistance in bringing confused strands of thought into focus, The Patient as Person willbe used for many years."-Michael Novak, New York Times
"Amid the plethora of books on medical ethics that merely skim the surface, this one solidly examines most aspects of the question--from the definition of death to organ transplantation."-Christianity Today
"Notable for its clear moral reasoning and its thorough examination of all morally relevant issues."-Journal of Religion
"[Ramsey's] study is a masterpiece of thoroughness in evaluating conflicting moral claims which become explicit in crucial medical situations."-Dolores Dooley-Clarke, Philosophical Studies
