Anyone who believes in the importance of a health system being designed to respect persons on an individual and societal level should read this book. Mary Catherine Beach, John Hopkins School of Medicine
Cribb is wise to healthcare's civic context, astute about normative questions and subtly person-centred - his elegant argument provides lucid guidance to the changing healthcare landscape. Joshua Hordern, Oxford Healthcare Values Partnership, University of Oxford
