About this title

Review

"In the past few decades, governments at all levels have developed a host of policies and laws that have framed the dialogue, concepts, and practice of making correct decisions on bioethical questions. Many of these documents vital to the field of bioethics are difficult to find, but this book provides easy access to the classics in the field.... A very valuable resource." -- "Choice"

"An invaluable source book for, among others, ethicists, students, health law attorneys, researchers, health care professionals, and ethics committee members." --, "Bioethics Forum"

"This is a 'must have' for the reference shelf." -- "E-Streams"
