About this book
In a future where healthcare is a commodity, "Rx" by Alan Edward Nourse explores the ethical dilemmas faced by two Earth doctors, Sam Jenkins and Wally Stone, as they navigate the complexities of a planet resistant to medical intervention. Set against a backdrop of interstellar conflict and corporate greed, the narrative delves into the implications of prioritizing profits over human life. With themes of medical ethics and the right to health care, this gripping science fiction novel challenges readers to consider the true meaning of compassion in an increasingly transactional world. Ideal for students and civic activists alike, "Rx" invites critical reflection on the intersections of medicine, morality, and societal responsibility.
