The Bioethics Reader: Editors' Choice
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 Governmentâ‚¬s Committee of Inquiry into Human Fertilization and Embryologyâ‚¬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.

- Will serve the academic bioethicists as well as students of bioethics as an excellent source book.
