{"product_id":"new-dimensions-in-bioethics-arthur-w-galston-9780792372493","title":"New Dimensions in Bioethics: Science, Ethics and the Formulation of Public Policy","description":"In the last three decades, bioethics has matured into a field of study with several areas of concentration, including medical ethics, environmental ethics and more recently, genetic ethics. For reasons related to both the developmental history of the subject and to the poignancy of the problems presented, most textbooks and collections of essays have dealt with only a single area, medical ethics. In fact, to many not in the field, the word bioethics has become synonymous with medical ethics. The aim of this collection of essays, entitled \u003cem\u003eNew\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eDimensions in Bioethics: Science, Ethics and the Formation of Public\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003ePolicy\u003c\/em\u003e, is to enlarge this restrictive vision of the field as it is usually studied at universities. By combining essays relevant to medical ethics with companion essays on environmental ethics and genetic ethics, the book emphasizes similarities in the methods of analysis used in diverse bioethical problems, whether dealing with genes, with people or the environment. In this way, \u003cem\u003eNew Dimensions in\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eBioethics: Science, Ethics and the Formation of Public Policy\u003c\/em\u003e, hopes to contribute to the intellectual unity of the subject and to suggest changes in the way bioethics can be taught and studied at both the graduate and undergraduate level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur W.
