Birth to Death: Science and Bioethics
Eds: David C. Thomasma, Ph.D., Thomasine Kushner, Ph.D.

Science and bioethics are inexorably linked-one supplies the ability to do, the other questions whether we should do it. This book melds these two themes in some of bioethics' "hottest" topics-genetics, reproductive technologies, human-subject research, and euthanasia, among others. Noted experts explain the ethical implications and potential moral dilemmas in terms aimed at general readers and interested professionals alike. For those of us ill-prepared to discuss the bioethical issues that have captured the national spotlight, such as cloning and physician-assisted suicide, this book provides essential background knowledge!
