Summary: Expensive, but well worth the price!!
Comment: As source material for the bioethics student, this anthology is a joy to read and refer back to. After a laconic introduction by Helga Kuhse, the book begins to situate bioethics as a discipline with articles contrasting it to law, ethics, and religion. The diverse approaches are next examined, each by an expert (Arras on the case approach, Childress on the prnciple approach, etc). Especially informative and provocative are the articles on personhood by Michael Tooley and brain death by Jeff McMahan. A sanity check is provided for bioethics teachers who wonder if they are approaching the discipline correctly in the critical review on how bioethics is taught by Catherine Myser. The book is a gold mine by experts who dispassionately present their topics cogently and clearly.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent compendium of bioethical issues
Comment: This anthology, like all other Blackwell philosophy anthologies, is a keeper. This text is comprehensive, and presents multiple viewpoints on each issue, unlike many texts, which present primarily one viewpoint.
