Bioethics: Principles, Issues, and Cases, Second Edition, explores the philosophical, medical, social, and legal aspects of key bioethical issues. Opening with a thorough introduction to ethics, bioethics, and moral reasoning, it then covers influential moral theories and the criteria for evaluating them. Integrating eighty-five readings--thirteen of them new to this edition--numerous cases, and abundant pedagogical tools, the book addresses the most provocative and controversial topics in bioethics.
Updated throughout, the second edition incorporates new information on justice, health care, and health insurance reform along with more coverage of issues related to race and culture and of the moral challenges facing nurses and other health care professionals. It also offers additional step-by-step guidance on how to identify and evaluate moral arguments in real-world contexts, with accompanying exercises and answers in an appendix.

I had to have this book for a bioethics class. I absolutely hated this book. The different articles in it seemed to be poorly written and for an ethics book some of the authors came across as incredibly ignorant. Some of the authors were also incredible difficult to read. If you don't need this book for a class, avoid it!

This book was very disorganized and it made finding highlights and points of information very hard. Not one of my favorite subjects ever taken, and the book was tolerable, but I did not use it for a reference during the writing of my paper since it is difficult to find the subject matter you are looking for.
