This text looks at the ethical issues medicine faces. It covers gene therapy, cloning, human eggs and embryos for sale and experiments on human embryos. The author argues that the conservatism of the medical establishment and others impedes the improvements in the quality of life.
In this important new book Gregory E. Pence looks at issues on the frontiers of medicine including gene therapy to produce 'brave new babies', cloning, human eggs and embryos for sale and experiments on human embryos. Pence argues that the conservatism of the medical establishment, the bioethics community, and the public at large has created shibboleths that impede improvements in our quality of life.

Gregory E. Pence is professor in the School of Medicine and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is the author of several well-known texts in medical ethics including Who's Afraid of Human Cloning and Flesh of My Flesh (Rowman & Littlefield 1998).
