PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES:
"Classic Case Files" describe landmark cases that shaped the debate， while news-making "Cases for Evaluation" encourage students to form their own opinions
Various text boxes: "In Depth" boxes contain additional material， illustrations， or analyses， much of it "ripped from the headlines"; "Fact File" boxes provide statistics on the social， medical， and scientific facets of a chapter's topic; and "Legal Brief" boxes summarize important court rulings and the status of major legislation
"Key Terms" are boldfaced and boxed off within the text and then defined in a glossary at the back of the book
"Applying Major Theories" sections at the end of each chapter help students relate theories to the issues

Read this for my bioethics class。 Great resource for articles on topics from abortion to autonomy。

This book explained the fundamentals of bioethics in easily understandable terms to me， a complete novice。 The case studies were riveting and connected well to the content。 I wish more textbooks were written like this one。 It's the sort of textbook which is so well-written that you could read it for fun。 This book explained the fundamentals of bioethics in easily understandable terms to me， a complete novice。 The case studies were riveting and connected well to the content。 I wish more textbooks were written like this one。 It's the sort of textbook which is so well-written that you could read it for fun。 。。。more

Interesting textbooks with opinions on both sides of many important morals issues。

This is a good introductory text to theory and current issues at play in the field， providing a broad topic overview and well chosen readings specific to the topic from a variety of perspectives。 Vaughn does a good job of weaving in different ethical theories as they apply to the topic at hand， making it a great springboard for further reading into areas of particular interest。

Mostly good textbook， but dumbs down a lot of the basic ethical theories。 This is something that would have been more useful for an early undergrad （freshman or sophomore） than graduate school。
