Item description from seller

New York: Benziger Bros., 1897. Coppens, Charles. Moral Principles and Medical Practice: The Basis of Medical Jurisprudence. New York: Benziger Bros., Printers to the Holy Apostolic See, 1897. 3rd edition. 222 pp. Green hardcover, with gilt stamped spine. Light shelfwear, boards rubbed, spine ends worn. Internally clean. A very good copy. $40. * This book explores the ethical and moral principles of medical practice, heavily influenced by Catholic theology. Written for a medical student audience, the book emphasizes a physician's duty to adhere to moral and divine law, arguing that these principles are more important than purely legal standards. Coppens outlines the moral and ethical framework for the medical field discussing topics that were highly debated in the 19th century, including craniotomy and abortion, and framing them within a religious and moral context. It examines the professional rights and duties of medical practitioners in upholding moral standards and explores the nature of insanity and its legal implications, including discussions on hypnotism and spiritism. It advocates for the sanctity of human life and promotes conscientious medical care based on the principles of Catholic doctrine. It provides insight into the historical development of medical ethics and the intersection of science and faith in late 19th-century medical education.…
