Reviews

This book is well written, synoptic in its coverage of existing theories of moral status, and most useful for a beginning Contemporary Moral Problems or Medical Ethics class. Ethics The logic of the application of the principles she sets forth is clear. Her theory should prompt discussion and help clarify the concept of moral status. Her multicriterial approach for determining moral status has the potential to assist in the struggle to handle the complex moral issues prevalent today. Mary Anne Warren's enterprise, to delineate obligations to persons and other living things is potentially fruitful, and of considerable importance. Mary Warnock, Times Higher Education Supplement This is a thought-provoking book with much to recommend it. Liam Clarke, Nursing Ethics This book is ambitious in the ground it covers, attempting to discuss a number of theories of moral status , and offer one of its own. It has much in it to interest people concerned about health care (particularly the discussions of euthanasia and abortion), as well as those interested in animal rights and environmental issues.
