Product Description
Scientific innovations such as donor insemination, surrogacy, IVF and embryo research have given rise to new, and hotly debated, ethical questions around human fertility and reproduction. This book introduces and probes ethical questions and challenges in a hands-on way by working through relevant case studies with key commentaries and activities. It engages the reader directly in ethical reasoning and decision-making and provides clear explanations, insightful commentaries and informed debate. These three books introduce key areas in current medical ethics to readers with no previous knowledge in the field. Structured around a variety of guided activities and real-life cases, the authors and cases represent a wide range of European backgrounds and professional disciplines, including medicine, bioethics, law, sociology, theology and philosophy. The general editor is Donna Dickenson, John Ferguson Professor at the University of Birmingham and Director of the Centre for the Study of Global Ethics. She is also the author of Death, Dying and Bereavement (Sage, 2000).
