Bioethics

Newly revised and updated, the fourth edition of Bioethics: An Anthology remains the definitive collection of key readings on both traditional and cutting-edge ethical issues in biology and medicine. Further expanding the scope and depth of coverage of its predecessors, this edition provides a wealth of additional content that addresses the critical ethical questions of the present day. Compelling new essays reflect the latest developments and main issues in the field—providing diverse perspectives on ethical questions related to the Covid-19 pandemic, public health and vaccination controversies, CRISPR gene editing technology, transgender children, life and death decisions for the critically ill, experiments on humans and animals, neuroethics, physician-assisted death, and much more.

An unparalleled single-volume compilation of both historical readings and the latest contemporary material, Bioethics: An Anthology is a must-have resource for all students, lecturers, and researchers studying the ethical implications of the health-related life sciences, as well as for doctors, nurses, and other professionals working in healthcare and the biomedical sciences.
