Arguments and Analysis in Bioethics - 9789042028029

Values in Bioethics (ViB), co-sponsored by the International Association of Bioethics, makes available original philosophical books in all areas of bioethics, including medical and nursing ethics, health care ethics, research ethics, environmental ethics, and global bioethics.

This book consists of twenty-one essays in bioethics. Some concern such issues as resource allocation in healthcare, reproductive cloning, eugenics, and the morality of human reproduction. Others concern methodological issues in bioethics, such as the role of examples, moral intuitions and empirical evidence. All have something important to say about the nature and place of arguments and analysis in bioethics.
