Product Description

Product Description

The Oxford Readings in Philosophy series brings together important recent writing in major areas of philosophical enquiry, selected from a variety of sources which may not be conveniently available to the university student or general reader. In this volume, John Harris presents the examples of the very best philosophical writing in bioethics from an internationally renowned list of contributors; authors featured include Peter Singer, Helga Kuhse, Tom Beauchamp, Ruth Macklin, and Ronald Dworkin. The book begins with a substantial overview by John Harris, looking at the evolution and nature of bioethics, contemporary debates, and introduces each of the pieces included, setting them in their academic context. Organized thematically, the volume covers the beginnings of life, end of life, value of life, quality of life, future generations, and professional ethics. It is a wide-ranging volume that covers the broad spectrum of the major topics in bioethics, and its clear and accessible approach makes it essential reading for all students of bioethics.

By NS100
The book "Bioethics (Oxford Readings in Philosophy)" was advertized as as new. It was posted to in a thin envelope, which ripped open at two opposite corners. Consequently, the whole top right hand corner (not just the cover) arrived mashed in and and the bottom of the spine detached. On examination, the book could not have been as new before it was posted: the cover was bubbly and curved. I have never before given a bad review but in this instance I have no option.
