Reviews
I really like the combination of case studies with traditional texts. I usually use two books to be able to do that, so having it all in one book is A plus". - Bertha Manninen, Arizona State University
The topical coverage of [ Vaughn's, Bioethics] is balanced and nearly completed. In each chapter students are building on their knowledge and learning key concepts that relate to the health issue and the ethical concepts at play. Bioethics lays a solid foundation for students to learn what morality is, moral theory and the specific application to health and biomedicine. It is thought-provoking, well-organized, and accessible in terms of language and explanation for students." - Iulia Fratila, George Mason University
