- The most controversial and fast-moving area of academic research
- Broad, lucid, and authoritative coverage of the issues
- Genuinely interdisciplinary
- This will be the standard reference point for these debates
Bonnie Steinbock presents The Oxford Handbook of Bioethics - an authoritative, state-of-the-art guide to current issues in bioethics.
Thirty-four contributors reflect the interdisciplinarity that is characteristic of bioethics, and its increasingly international character. Thirty topics are covered in original essays written by some of the world's leading figures in the field, as well as by some newer 'up-and-comers'. The essays address both perennial issues, such as the methodology of bioethics, autonomy, justice, death, and moral status, and newer issues, such as biobanking, stem cell research, cloning, pharmacogenomics, and bioterrorism. Other topics concern mental illness and moral agency, the rule of double effect, justice and
the elderly, the definition of death, organ transplantation, feminist approaches to commodification of the body, life extension, advance directives, physician-assisted death, abortion, genetic research, population screening, enhancement, research ethics, and the implications of public and global health for bioethics.
Anyone who wants to know how the central debates in bioethics have developed in recent years, and where the debates are going, will want to consult this book. It will be an invaluable resource not only for scholars and graduate students in bioethics, but also for those in philosophy, medicine, law, theology, social science, public policy, and public health who wish to keep abreast of developments in
bioethics.Readership: Scholars and students of bioethics, medical ethics, and philosophy; healthcare professionals; lawyers, theologians, and social scientists working on issues to do with life and health; public policy and public health professionals

"...the Oxford Handbook of Bioethics is an impressive and stimulating collection of original essays on some of the deepest and most challenging ethical issues in how we maintain, restore and enhance human health." - Annette Rid Medicine Health Care and Philosophy "The Oxford Handbook of Bioethics endeavours to take the pulse of contemporary bioethics. The resulting collection is impressive. It comprises 30 essays, largely philosophical in approach, in which several luminaries of bioethics - alongside younger, up-and-coming scholars - offer thoughtful and challenging perspectives." - Jonathan H. Marks, The New England Journal of Medicine "The editor, Bonnie Steinbock, states in the introduction that
this volume is for scholars and graduate students seeking an authoritative and stimulating account of bioethics today. Members of the intended audience will not be disappointed." - Mary Anderlik Majumder, Journal of the American Medical Association
