Synopsis
Even before its publication, opinions expressed in this highly controversial book about ethics caused uproar among thinkers and campaigners of different persuasions such as Mary Whitehouse, Ann Widdecombe and Dominic Lawson, editor of the Sunday Telegraph. In no uncertain terms the highly respected philosopher and public figure Lady Warnock explains in this book how to distinguish right from wrong in areas from euthanasia to abortion, Down s Syndrome, education and genetic engineering. Drawing on remarkably lucid examples from her personal and political life, Lady Warnock illustrates difficult cases to make her point succinctly and persuasively. She clarifies where she stands in relation to the philosophers of ethics in a concise and through-provoking way. This book is essential reading for students and those who want to keep up with the latest developments in the debates that rage in out complicated modern world.

Review
"'Warnock's new book admirably fulfils the brief of its title...This book will serve as an excellent introduction to ethical study, and is also an impassioned and moving summary of Warnock's own lifelong dedication to ethical thinking' - Alain de Botton, The Guardian; 'This admirable book fully lives up to its title...This is a wise, earnest, moving book, rather Victorian in its way, which shows that goodness is not just for prigs. No wonder the blurb calls it 'controversial'. It must certainly raise eyebrows among the enlightened' - Robert Grant, The Times"
