| Biomedical Ethics (Biomedical Ethics (Mappes)) by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages biomedical ethics book received |

| Biomedical Ethics (Biomedical Ethics (Mappes)) by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages An Excellent book. |
| I read this as an undergraduate while taking a course in medical ethics. I later went on to medical school, and I read a few other texts and many other sources for most of the same material. This book is by far the best of all of these that I've seen. It's almost perfect in the scope it covers and in its readability. It gives a good overview and raises intriguing questions in each section. It almost perfect. I can't recommend it enough. It is well worth a look. |
| Biomedical Ethics (Biomedical Ethics (Mappes)) by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages given other names in the field - Delightfully readable! |
This is an excellent overview of the myriad of issues that fall under the term "biomedical ethics". 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. I enjoyed this book immensely. Not only did it help me greatly in my studies, it has also helped me greatly in navigating my own health care. 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! |
| Biomedical Ethics (Biomedical Ethics (Mappes)) by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages A Very Good Introduction to Bioethics |
| 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. More of a textbook than a "quickread". |
