The first single-author text on the philosophical issues in bioethics, this book offers a systematic and comprehensive introduction to the philosophical principles underlying this discipline. It examines the ways in which facts, theories, and values are intertwined in concepts of disease and health, and covers a wide range of issues, including abortion, in vitro fertilization, sexual deviance, and organ transplantation. The discussion of these issues is critical and often controversial, and the distinguished author includes his own provocative views on topics of current debate. Highly readable and challenging, this is an excellent text for advanced bioethics courses, as well as a thought-provoking study of considerable interest for physicians and philosophers.
