Reviews

<p> The Ethics of Bioethics is a sterling contribution to the ongoing debate in bioethics regarding who we are, what we do, and what we are becoming. I would strongly encourage its use for educators in bioethics who want their students to engage in these ongoing dialogues.--Kayhan Parsi Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics (01/01/0001)

The strength of the volume is not that it answers questions of the ethics of bioethics, but rather that it offers an accurate portrait of the diverse views of the field. -- Lisa Rasmussen, American Journal of Bioethics
