Description
Book SynopsisA collection of bioethical case studies that shows why ethical behaviour matters more than bioethics commentary. Will be of interest to those working and teaching in bioethics, health law, research ethics, public policy, medical technology and pharmaceutical development, governmental affairs, and the history and philosophy of science and medicine.
Trade Review'It is difficult to imagine an ethicist who would not find a keen interest in one, or more likely most, of the chapters in this book. Similarly, anyone with an interest in medical law will find the topics here stirring. I use the word 'stirring' consciously - as this is what the book aims to do and does it well.' Ewa Posner, Medical Law Review
