Reviews

The authors in The Story of Bioethics are to be highly commended for their thoughtful and rigorous self-critical reflection on their contributions to the discipline of bioethics. While somewhat historical and autobiographical, the essays present various images of the development of a beginning discipline as well as sound analysis of the core issues that have engaged all who reflect on these themes. One can also discern here some of the shape of future developments. This is an important work not only because we have the reflections of many of those who were 'there at the beginning' but also because of the authors' continuing engagement with developments in the field.

A handsome, carefully edited, and thoughtfully indexed volume offering authors' reflections on their seminal works...To anyone interested in the history of bioethics, or looking for insights into seminal works that guided the field during its first three decades, this is a 'must 'read.' The Hastings Center Report Far more illuminating than any history of bioethics to date. It is much more informative about the actual historical conditions of the writing of these seminal works and provides much more of an intellectual history of bioethics. Anyone who wants to know what bioethics is about should read this book. Ethically Speaking
