Reviews

Contemporary bioethics owes a great deal to Professor Hare. Not only has Hare developed a highly sophisticated ethical theory, but he has from the beginning applied it to many different practical issues, including issues on bioethics ... Hare has provided some powerful prudential arguments in favour of being moral ... Hare's book has much to offer its readers ... Hare's work, like that of all great philosophers, provides both enlightenment and plenty to disagree with ... I said that contemporary bioethics owes much to Hare. With the publication of this volume, the debt is even greater. * Bioethics *
