Description:
This anthology examines 11 key issues dealing with the beginning and end of life, and presents a balanced set of 67 classic and contemporary readings on each of them. It is unique in its coverage of applied ethics, medical topics, and broad theoretical considerations of issues of life and death—the sanctity of life versus the quality of life, and the meaning of life and death. The section on Ethical Theory covers the classic theories as well as ethical relativism to orient students to the nature and importance of ethics. The section on the sanctity of life versus the quality of life examines a vital but often neglected issue in moral philosophy. Introductions and study questions accompany each major reading.

There are better books out there... - The concepts explored in this book, while fascinating, are really only useful if you have a professor to guide you. I would not recommend learning from this book by self study. It is a fairly easy read, but falls short of other texts I have owned. I am an A student. I know the difference between a good book and something mediocre.
