Reviews

“If you are taking a broad undergraduate course in medical ethics, there is no better ebook than this one. The summaries of each chapter are clear, succinct, and interesting, and the cases contribute to the development of fruitful starting debates. Bowling Green State University's David Schwan

“Real-life classic instances, ethical theory, and pertinent policy papers all find a place in the field of bioethics, which achieves a solid balance between all three. Students in a diverse array of academic fields, including philosophy, public health, health sciences, and medicine, should feel comfortable studying here as a result. I have several colleagues that teach beginning levels of bioethics courses, and I will heartily recommend this ebook to each and every one of them. I would like to call attention to its comprehensive nature, as well as its user-friendly format and resources, as well as the useful balance it maintains between theoretical concepts and practical applications, as well as primary sources and examples. — Pascalev Assya; Howard University
