“Global Education in Bioethics is recommended to experts in the area, to those who are well informed but also to beginners. … Thanks to diversity of presented methods it can be used by teachers in areas other than ethics if they want to promote global reflection on ethics and interdisciplinarity.” (Helena Štrucelj, JAHR - European Journal of Bioethics, Vol. 10 (20), 2019)
