This anthology is a definitive, high-quality, one-volume collection of the key texts for the study of bioethics. In its structure and content, it is intended to complement A Companion to Bioethics, edited by the same scholars. Drawing together the most important texts in the field, the volume will be of great value not only to philosophers, students of philosophy and moral theologians, but also to doctors and nurses, sociologists and lawyers, and others working in health-care and biomedical sciences. Broadly based and of direct relevance to modern health-care dilemmas, the book contains much that will interest the general reader.
