Stephen Holland guides the reader from the more familiar debates on euthanasia, advance directives and reproductive technologies such as IVF, through to the philosophical implications of developments in genetics such as prenatal genetic therapy, genetic enhancement and human cloning.
This book provides a clear and stimulating introduction to bioethics - from the more familiar debates on euthanasia, living wills and new reproductive technologies such as IVF, through to the philosophical implications of recent developments in genetics such as prenatal genetic therapy, genetic enhancement and human cloning.
