Progress in Bioethics: Science, Policy, and Politics

"This volume is a "veritable manifesto" of the progressivist bioethicist perspective on the major issues of the bioethical movement today." -- Edmund D. Pellegrino, The Quarterly Review of Biology "The essays in this book are beautifully written, with each author presenting a well-reasoned thesis in an eloquent and passionate yet respectful and civil manner. In an age in which controversy is all too often accompanied by confrontation and argumentative discourse, the overall tone of this anthology is refreshing. The book successfully meets the goal of promoting a greater understanding and appreciation of progressivism in bioethics...For scholars, clinicians, and policy-makers whose work is enhanced by a deeper understanding of the primary intellectual debate in bioethics, Progress in Bioethics offers a provocative and stimulating educational experience." -- Andrew R. Barnosky, Journal of the American Medical Association
