Praise for the Previous Edition "The field of bioethics continues to evolve at a breakneck pace. One could hardly ask for a more thorough guide to where it has been, and what values and principles might steer where it is going, than this comprehensive and balanced volume." Arthur Caplan, University of Pennsylvania "This is an outstanding collection which covers all the main issues in bioethics and brings together much of the best philosophical work on them." Dan W. Brock, Harvard Medical School"A useful tool to gain an overview of important and influential texts and thinking of leading authors and commentators in bioethics." Human Reproduction and Genetic Ethics "This remains the definitive collection in bioethics--chock full of interesting, worthwhile articles--both old and new. The anthology has a nice mix of classic and more recent topics of interest." J. Jeremy Wisnewski, Editor, Review Journal of Political Philosophy
