Reviews

Each member of Ethical Committees, Public Health Officers and Policy Making, lawyers engaged in health problems should read the book. Recommended also for medical personnel engaged in research and genetics. Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol 2, No 3 ... a welcome addition to existing works not only because it is an accessible and thorough analysis, which reflects the expertise of the authors, but also because of its pragmatic approach to the issues. The Lancet Neurology, Vol 3
