Rezensionen

"Assembled here are some of the most influential and incisive voices examining many of the cutting edge issues in bioethics today. There is much to learn from the contributors, a good deal to debate and a wealth of ideas that merit further research and study."



Arthur Caplan, New York University Langone Medical Center, USA



"The editors of this Companion have produced a volume that fruitfully reflects their respective areas of expertise and careers in the field of bioethics. They have thus given us a book that offers students at any level a reliable guide to classical debates in bioethics, cutting edge contributions on issues of global resource allocation, and incisive essays involving gender and the body that are all too often excluded from similar books on offer. I cannot think of a better one-stop-shopping introduction to the field."

Bonnie Steinbock, University of Albany, USA
