Over a decade ago, the field of bioethics was established in
response to the increased control over the design of living
organisms afforded by both medical genetics and biotechnology.
Since its introduction, bioethics has become established as an
academic discipline with journals and professional societies, is
covered regularly in the media, and affects people everyday around
the globe. In response to the increasing need for information about
medical genetics and biotechnology as well as the ethical issues
these fields raise, Sheed & Ward proudly presents the Readings
in Bioethics Series. Edited by Thomas A. Shannon, the series
provides anthologies of critical essays and reflections by leading
ethicists in four pivotal areas: reproductive technologies, genetic
technologies, death and dying, and health care policy. The goal of
this series is twofold: first, to provide a set of readers on
thematic topics for introductory or survey courses in bioethics or
for courses with a particular theme or time limitation. Second,
each of the readers in this series is designed to help students
focus more thoroughly and effectively on specific topics that flesh
out the ethical issues at the core of bioethics. The series is also
highly accessible to general readers interested in bioethics. This
volume collects critical essays by leading scholars on issues in
biotechnology, genetic counseling and the disabled, population
screening, race-based gamete selection, stem cell research,
reproductive freedom and preimplantation diagnosis, procreation for
organ and tissue procurement, and other critical areas where moral
and ethical dilemmas are emerging from new and existing practices,
policy, and legislation.
