The Elimination of Morality - Reflections on Utilitarianism and Bioethics (Paperback, New)

The Elimination of Morality combines a criticism of utilitarianism with an argument for the futility of bioethics. It challenges the conception of reason in ethics central to both, and argues that a philosophical training confers no special authority to make pronouncements on moral issues. It proposes that pure utilitarianism eliminates the essential ingredients of moral thinking.
