Bioethics by Lewis Vaughn
Bioethics: Principles, Issues, and Cases explores the philosophical, medical, social, and legal aspects of key bioethical issues. Opening with a thorough introduction to ethics, bioethics, and moral reasoning, it then covers influential moral theories and the criteria for evaluating them. Integrating eighty-nine readings, numerous classic bioethical cases, and abundant pedagogical tools, this text addresses the most provocative and controversial topics in bioethics.
I really like the combination of case studies with traditional textsI usually use two books to be able to do that, so having it all in one book is A plus". - Bertha Manninen, Arizona State University
