Rezension

'This book is an excellent, unique and comprehensive resource for either an undergraduate or a graduate course. With its wonderful introduction into ethical theory and a multifaceted approach, it is an incomparable resource for the successful teaching of bioethics. The author's eloquent writing ... carefully examines practically every aspect of [this] exciting interdisciplinary [field] ... a valuable reading of interest for both students and scholar[s], alike.' Mirjana Brockett, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta
