What Customers Say About Biomedical Ethics:

i was very much so surprised it came with the other book of core concepts and that i got both of them for that price thank u.
I can't recommend it enough. It gives a good overview and raises intriguing questions in each section. It almost perfect. I read this as an undergraduate while taking a course in medical ethics. It is well worth a look. This book is by far the best of all of these that I've seen. I later went on to medical school, and I read a few other texts and many other sources for most of the same material. It's almost perfect in the scope it covers and in its readability.
I enjoyed this book immensely. This is an excellent overview of the myriad of issues that fall under the term "biomedical ethics". Whether you are reading for academic pursuits, or are otherwise interested enough in the field to buy a book about it, I highly recommend THIS ONE. Not only did it help me greatly in my studies, it has also helped me greatly in navigating my own health care. This was used as one of the texts for my health care ethics graduate course, and I could actually read this. Although Childress and Beauchamp may be considered the "standards" in the field, they are also when known for being very difficult to read (my prof warned us on day one that their "Introduction" would be very heady, and the warning rang true the moment I opened their book).This book brings together writings from numerous excellent authors that are all very easy to digest, particularly in light of other "introductions" available.
More of a textbook than a "quickread". Biomedical Ethics is a wonderful introduction to bioethical issues. The authors' styles of writing are (usually) easily understandable, and the inserted case studies make for interesting reading.
