Bøger af Gregory E. Pence

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us all to reflect on the bioethical issues it raises. In this timely book, Gregory Pence examines a number of relevant issues, including the fair allocation of scarce medical resources, immunity passports, discrimination against minorities and the disabled, and the myriad issues raised by vaccines.

Looks at issues on the frontiers of medicine including gene therapy to produce 'brave new babies,' human eggs and embryos for sale, and experiments on human embryos. This work argues that the conservatism of the medical establishment, the bioethics community, and the public has created shibboleths that impede improvements in our quality of life.
