Bioethics and the Fetus: Medical, Moral and Legal Issues


Add your own review!

Overview

Who has more rights - the mother or the fetus? Interdisciplinary in scope and character, this latest volume of Humana's classic series, Biomedical Ethics Reviews, focuses on the complex moral and legal problems involving human fetal life. Each article in Bioethics and the Fetus provides an up-to-date review of the literature and advances bioethical discussion in its field. The authors have avoided much of the technical jargon of philosophy and medicine in order to speak directly to a broad and general readership. Topics include: maternal fetal conflict the disposition of aborted fetuses frozen embryos creating children to save sibling's lives fetal tissue transplantation moral implications of fetal brain integration the embryo as patient prenatal diagnosis. Probing deeply into these thorny issues, Bioethics and the Fetus offers thought-provoking reading - and paves the ground for new insight - for a host of healthcare and other professionals, as well as concerned laypersons.
