ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
Should we allow terminally ill patients
to hasten their deaths with the assistance of a physician? Do genetically
engineered foods pose a danger? Is there something wrong about taking a drug
that will enhance your intelligence? Questions like these are the focus of
public policy debates—debate that seem never-ending because they are often
based more on ideology and religious dogma than on a careful consideration of
the relevant legal and ethical questions. Exhaustively researched, vigorously
argued, and tightly reasoned. Future Bioethics is essential reading for anyone
who wants rational pragmatic, and progressive policies on the critical
bioethical issues of our time.
