Rezensionen
'A nice synthesis of some developments in the field that willbe useful to those who dabble in bioethics, or who are interestedin seeing what new areas of research have emerged alongside newtechnological advances and growing globalization. It is a nicesupplement to some of the more traditional collections ofcontributions to this growing field.'
