Edited by two of the field’s most respected scholars, Bioethics: An Anthology:

Features three brand-new sections: Conscientious Objection, Academic Freedom and Research, and Disability
Contains new essays on topics such as brain death, life and death decisions for the critically ill, experiments on humans and animals, neuroethics, and the use of drugs to ease the pain of unrequited love
Includes a detailed index that allows the reader to easily find terms and topics of interest
