Reviews

"This book is a rich resource containing many interesting case examples, with the inclusion of some novel perspectives on contemporary bioethical issues. Each chapter has learning objectives and keywords, which should be helpful for those using the book as a study resource...It is suitable for people who wish to widen their understanding of a number of topics in bioethics, as well as offering interesting material for those who need to study in more depth. It also adds to the growing literature voicing a more distinctive perspective in nursing ethics." Nursing Ethics, March 2010
