Discussion of bioscience ethics requires understanding of the
science that underpins biological systems impinging on our lives.
Unencumbered by the formal structure of ethics, bioethics presents
a forum for discussion of practical matters of individual and
collective concern. This comprehensive text is a guide to the
essentials of bioscience ethics and an interface between applied
science and applied bioethics. Early chapters embrace topics
affecting human reproduction - substance abuse and parenthood,
aging gametes and congenital malformations, child abuse and its
biological consequences. Intermediate chapters deal with
end-of-life care and euthanasia, human fertility, assisted
reproductive technologies, genetic engineering, and cloning.
Remaining chapters challenge human-dominated ecosystems. Population
growth, economic activity, and warfare - with its environmental
consequences - are reviewed. A background section describes the
evolution of ethical consciousness, explores the future, and
proposes that the reworking of ethical boundaries can enhance
mature decision-making in harmony with changing technology.
