This collection provides an in depth look at the real cases defining the field of medical ethics. A popular text among teachers and students alike, the book contains much more detail than most other casebooks, enriching each famous (or infamous) case with important background, history and context. In addition, it illuminates each case with a discussion of the pertinent philosophical theories and ethical issues behind it. The second edition has been substantially changed and updated, with three completely new chapters and significant revision to all of the other chapters. CLASSIC CASES IN MEDICAL ETHICS is a natural complement to Pence's CLASSIC WORKS IN MEDICAL ETHICS.

For nearly 30 years, Gregory E. Pence's name has appeared in the by-lines of headlining newspaper articles in bioethics. Pence, one of America's pioneering bioethicists, has never been afraid to go his own way or stir up a little controversy. Brave New Bioethics gathers 35 of his most influential and groundbreaking op-ed pieces and essays into one broad-ranging volume on issues such as cloning, AIDS, dignified death, and test-tube babies. These distinctive, lively commentaries have graced the pages of such publications as The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Human cloning raises the most profound questions about human nature, our faith in ourselves, and our ability to make decisions that could significantly alter the character of humanity. In this exciting and accessible book, Gregory Pence offers a candid and sometimes humorous look at the arguments for and against human cloning. Originating a human being by cloning, Pence boldly argues, should not strike fear in our hearts but should be examined as a reasonable reproductive option for couples. Pence considers how popular culture has influenced the way we think about cloning, and he presents a lucid and non-technical examination of the scientific research and relevant moral issues in the cloning debate. This book is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the impact of technology on human life and for those with interests in medical ethics, sociology, and public policy.
