Newly revised and updated, the fourth edition of Bioethics: An Anthology remains the definitive collection of key readings on both traditional and cutting-edge ethical issues in biology and medicine. Further expanding the scope and depth of coverage of its predecessors, this edition provides a wealth of additional content that addresses the critical ethical questions of the present day. Compelling new essays reflect the latest developments and main issues in the field--providing diverse perspectives on ethical questions related to the Covid-19 pandemic, public health and vaccination controversies, CRISPR gene editing technology, transgender children, life and death decisions for the critically ill, experiments on humans and animals, neuroethics, physician-assisted death, and much more. An unparalleled single-volume compilation of both historical readings and the latest contemporary material, Bioethics: An Anthology is a must-have resource for all students, lecturers, and researchers studying the ethical implications of the health-related life sciences, as well as for doctors, nurses, and other professionals working in healthcare and the biomedical sciences.
