Acclaimed for its scope and depth of coverage, this landmark work brings together compelling writings by internationally-renowned bioethicists to help readers develop a thorough understanding of the central ideas, critical issues, and current debt. Now fully revised and updated, the fourth edition contains a wealth of new content on ethical questions and controversies related to the COVID-19 pandemic, advances in CRISPR gene editing technology, physician-assisted death, public health and vaccinations, transgender children, medical aid in dying, the morality of ending the lives of newborns, and much more. |
