Críticas:

?This book is to be highly recommended to anyone who has an interest in medical ethics. I cannot think of another anthology quite like this: it combines a detailed account of classic themes in medical ethics with original exploration of novel challenges. And it does more than this: it is rich in case studies and other pedagogical devices, which render the book an invaluable resource for anyone involved in medical ethics education.? ?Simona Giordano, Reader in Bioethics, CSEP, The University of Manchester ?Boylan?s latest edition of the text Medical Ethics combines his unifying philosophical considerations with the individual perspectives of other top-notch bioethicists, less well-known essays with classic articles. It should prove to be an excellent resource in the classroom, supporting both careful reflection and meaningful discussion.? ?D. Micah Hester, Chief of the Division of Medical Humanities, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, College of Medicine
