The McGraw-Hill Guide to Philosophy on the Web helps students learn about the Internet and Web in general and in particular about philosophy on the Internet. The goal of this concise guide is to help philosophy students judge the valuable material from the mediocre, to direct them to excellent Internet resources, and to warn them about flimflam. The first part of the guide covers the general process of using a site, using various Search Engines, saving pages, copying text from pages, and saving all of the above. The last two parts are specific to philosophy. They talk about the special problems of using the Web for books, papers, and discussions in philosophy, and about special issues concerning philosophy on the Internet.

This rich collection provides an in-depth look at major cases that have defined and shaped the field of medical ethics. Popular among teachers and students alike, it contains more detail than most casebooks and enriches each famous (or infamous) case with extensive historical and contextual background. Each case is illuminated by careful discussion of pertinent philosophical theories and legal and ethical issues. Classic Cases in Medical Ethics is also a natural complement to Pence's Classic Works In Medical Ethics. A brand-new chapter 1 provides an overview of ethical theories and moral reasoning, discusses common mistakes in moral reasoning, and gives an historical overview of ethical theories and medical ethics. The focus of Chapter 4, Physician-Assisted Dying, has been changed from Dr. Kevorkian to Oregon’s legalization. Chapter 5 on assisted reproduction now goes far beyond baby Louise Brown’s in vitro fertilization and discusses up-to-date issues such as egg donation, choice of embryos, and the possibility of human cloning.
