Many people invest the new biotechnology with all the aspirations and faith once accorded to religious salvation. But does everyone benefit equally from scientific progress? Commercialised modern biomedicine runs the risk of exploiting vulnerable groups, from Indian 'surrogate' mothers to professional guinea pigs in drug research. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Professor Dickenson argues that although we've entered new scientific territory, there's no need to jettison our existing moral sense. By discussing a range of real-life cases, she equips readers to make up their own minds on these important and controversial questions. Good science and good ethics needn't be contradictory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis accessible and concise book will appeal to both students and general readers, giving a fascinating introduction to a wide range of perspectives on Bioethics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"an ideal introductory guide to topics such as stem cell technology, reproductive tourism, patent law and cognitive enhancement.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Illman, Healthwatch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eAll That Matters\u003c\/i\u003e series:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll That Matters\u003c\/i\u003e books:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAll books in the \u003ci\u003eAll That Matters\u003c\/i\u003e series are written by world experts in their subject field.
