Dr Jacob Appel

Listen to "Dr Jacob Appel Releases Who Says You're Dead" on Spreaker. Who should get custody of an embryo created through IVF when a couple divorces? Should an alcoholic in poor health be forced to go to rehab? Can a pediatrician refuse to see non-vaccinated clients? Or, when you or a loved one is on life support, Who says you’re dead? Attending psychiatrist at Mount Sinai and celebrated bioethicist Dr. Jacob M. Appel considers these bioethical questions in his new book -- WHO SAYS YOU’RE DEAD? Medical & Ethical Dilemmas for the Curious & Concerned. Dr. Appel asks readers to play doctor and decide what they would do if confronted with the dilemma. He then reveals what decisions were actually made in the real-life cases on which his scenarios are based.
