The first formal use of the term bioethics to distinguish the ethical relationships between humans and other living organisms is attributed to Fritz Jahr in 1927. Rapid growth in biomedical discoveries and medical treatments since then greatly increased the complexity and scope of bioethics. This book edited by Di Nucci, Lee, and Wagner thoroughly examines past and contemporary bioethics assumptions and applications. Each chapter is authored by an unbiased expert on a particular set of viewpoints and situations. Much of the ethics coverage focuses on medical ethics, health care, and human subject research, but the book concludes with chapters on bioethics in the context of environmental sciences and animal experimentation. Chapters include ample citations. Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals. Students in two-year technical programs.
