Reviews for Bioethics

"Extremely well done for both undergraduate and graduate introduction to medical ethics courses. This text is comprehensive in its treatment of the issues I cover in my semester-length course on medical ethics."" - John Thomas Meadors, Mississippi College I found the book to be fairly comprehensive. There is simply more to choose from in this book. This book is up to date. The inclusion of stats and figures are still current and relevant."" - Kristemn Kringle-Bear, University of North Caroline Wilmington"
