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 reproductive
technologies, abortion, in vitro fertilization, prenatal diagnosis,
and cloning. Included in this volume are David Adamson, James P.
Toner, Thomas A. Shannon, Bonnie Steinbock, Laura A. Schieve,
Richard J. Paulson, G. Pennings, Thomas H. Murray, Lori B. Andrews,
J. M. Phillips.
Perfect for an upper level seminar or course, this casebook traces
the legal impacts of genetics across the legal spectrum--from
family law to medical law to forensics. It addresses international
and federal regulation of genetic research; medical applications
including prenatal testing, pharmacogenomics, and gene therapy;
paternity testing; intellectual property rights; and the use of
genetic technologies by social institutions, including law
enforcement, courts, insurers, employers and schools. The 3rd
edition newly covers Octomom and President Obama's stem cell
directive. No scientific background on the part of the students or
professor is required.
