Included are a wide range of the most important essays both on long standing issues in biomedical ethics (such as consent, euthanasia, and research involving human subjects); and on issues that have particularly come to the fore in recent years, such as the allocation of scarce medical resources, and genetic alteration. An extensive introduction provides a accessible general overview of ethical theory for those without previous familiarity with philosophical concepts.

3.0 out of 5 stars My book purchase July 10 2012

I was happy with the book that I recieved. However, I was not happy with the length of time it took for the book to get to my house. It took almost a month for the book to be delivered. I ordered the book for school so it was quite a set back for me.
