Customer Reviews

Clearly presenting the ethical concerns

While Gale's 'At Issue' titles are geared for young adult audiences, The Johns Hopkins Complete At Issue: Reproductive Technology is reviewed here with high recommendations for ESL and adult low-level readers who will appreciate the simpler language and clear explanations. 90 pages may seem diminutive in size, but pack in all the depth and detail of larger adult coverages on the topic, from discussions of posthumous conception without consent to multiple birth ethics and human cloning. Pro/con arguments on all issues are presented with a focus on clearly presenting the ethical concerns. Highly recommended.
