This new edition has been greatly revised and updated; half of the selections are new to this volume, including two brand new essays on genetic enhancement, a new section on gender, race and culture, and a new essay on the Healthcare Affordability act.

I cannot think of another anthology quite like this: it combines a detailed account of classic themes in medical ethics with original exploration of novel challenges. And it does more than this: it is rich in case studies and other pedagogical devices, which render the book an invaluable resource for anyone involved in medical ethics education.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e—Simona Giordano, Reader in Bioethics, CSEP, The University of Manchester\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“Boylan’s latest edition of the text \u003ci\u003eMedical Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e combines his unifying philosophical considerations with the individual perspectives of other top-notch bioethicists, less well-known essays with classic articles.
