Críticas

'A nice synthesis of some developments in the field that will be useful to those who dabble in bioethics, or who are interested in seeing what new areas of research have emerged alongside new technological advances and growing globalization. It is a nice supplement to some of the more traditional collections of contributions to this growing field.' J. Jeremy Wisnewski, PhD, Hartwick College From Metapsychology Online Reviews (Volume 12, Issue 7) For the full review please visit: http://metapsychology.mentalhelp.net/poc/view-doc.php?type=book&id=4071

Reseña del editor

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. * Includes eight sections comprising some of the journals' best publications in methodological issues, the health care professional-patient relationship, public health ethics, research ethics, genetics, as well as beginning- and end-of-life issues. * Will serve the academic bioethicists as well as students of bioethics as an excellent source book.
