About the book
The Bioethics Reader brings together journal essays addressing the methods and practical concerns of bioethics. Its editors select work on clinical relationships, public health, research, genetics and decisions at the beginning and end of life.
The collection places established controversies beside emerging questions. As a sourcebook, it lets readers encounter different arguments and approaches rather than presenting a single author’s conclusions about every issue.
Key ideas
- Methods and disagreement in bioethics
- Clinical, public health and research ethics
- Genetics and beginning- and end-of-life questions
