Not bad

I had ordered the book along with three others and this one was the second to arrive. The book was in very good condition.

Contemporary Issues in Bioethics (with InfoTrac )

book arrived in excellent shape and on time with no problems

Great medical ethics resource!

With articles by medical doctors, lawyers, and ethicists, this book thoroughly explores many of the ethical and legal debates in medicine today. Patient autonomy, patient rights, ethical treatment of experimental subjects, palliative care, end-of-life decision making, stem cell research, and bioterrorism are all covered in-depth with arguements from different angles on every topic. I would highly recommend this book for anyone studying ethics, medicine, or law.
