This volume offers a compilation of articles chosen by the current and past editors of Bioethics and Developing World Bioethics, published in the journals during the last two decades. The Bioethics Reader's eight sections include some of the journals' best publications in areas comprising methodological issues, the health care professional-patient relationship, just health care, public health ethics, research ethics, genetics, as well as beginning- and end-of-life issues. The Bioethics Reader offers a good overview of discussions in the field of bioethics during the last twenty years. It will serve the academic bioethicists as well as students of bioethics as an excellent source book.
