      abstract = {This book addresses the problems faced by people and  hospitals dedicated to providing optimal end-of-life care  and asks whether ethicists can function as experts on this  subject. Though ethics consultation is a growing practice  in medical contexts, difficult questions surrounding the  role of ethicists in professional decision-making remain.  The chapters in this book examine the nature and  plausibility of moral expertise, the relationship between  character and expertise, the nature and limits of moral  authority, the question of how one might become a moral  expert, and the trustworthiness of moral testimony. This  volume not only engages with the growing literature in the  debate on end-of-life care but also offers new perspectives  from both academics and practitioners. Such perspectives  include ways on how to get together to optimize end-of-life  care. This book is of particular interest to bioethicists,  clinicians, ethics committees, students of social  epistemology, patient groups, and institutions, especially  religious, who may not be sufficiently imparting the social  teachings of end-of-life care. It also shows how they are  indeed stakeholders for what is today called 'a good  death'. These new essays advance discussions and provide  practical information on dying as well as acting as a guide  to those interested in actively effecting change.},
