Scratching the Surface of BioethicsMatti Häyry, Tuija Takala Rodopi, 2003 - 148 pagine Is bioethics only about medicine and health care? Law? Philosophy? Social issues? No, on all accounts. It embraces all these and more. In this book, fifteen notable scholars from the North West of England critically explore the main approaches to bioethics--and make a scratch on its polished surface. |
