Preface
The questions and dilemmas of bioethics touch everyone. Bioethics: What Everyone Needs to Know RG discusses the most difficult and controversial bioethical issues facing the public today, providing a way to think about them in a rigorous and thoughtful way. Topics include the philosophical and historical foundations of bioethics, advance directives, experimentation on human subjects, the definition of death, physician-assisted dying, abortion, disability, just healthcare systems, the allocation of scarce resources, pharmaceutical drug pricing, assisted reproductive technology, egg donation, surrogate motherhood, sex selection, and the genetic modification of humans. Race and gender are considered throughout, as are ethical issues raised by pandemics.
