The Bioethics Reader - Editors Choice (Paperback)


A collection celebrating some of the best essays from the Blackwell journals, "Bioethics "and "Developing World Bioethics."
Contributors include Helga Kuhse, Michael Selgelid and Baroness Mary Warnock, former Chair of the British Government's "Committee of Inquiry into Human Fertilization and Embryology's."
Traces some of the most important concerns of the 1980s, such as the ethics of euthanasia, reproductive technologies, the allocation of scarce medical resources, surrogate motherhood, through to a range of new issues debated today, particularly in the field of genetics.
Includes contributions that are still as hotly debated today as they were 20 years ago and serves as a salutary reminder that free and open discussion is vital to the health of the discipline itself.

Will serve the academic bioethicists as well as students of bioethics as an excellent source book.
