Readings in Bioethics is a series of anthologies that gather together seminal essays in four areas: reproductive technologies, genetic technologies, death and dying, and health care policy. Each of the readers addresses specific case studies and issues under its respective topic. The goal of this series is twofold: First, to provide a set of readers on thematic topics for introductory or survey courses in bioethics or for courses with a particular theme or time limitation. When used in conjunction with a core text that provides the appropriate level of analytical framework, the readers in this series provide specific analysis of a set of issues that meets the professor's individual needs and interests. Second, each of the readers in this series is designed with the student in mind and aims to present important articles that help students focus more thoroughly and effectively on specific topics that flesh out the ethical issues at the core of bioethics.
