| Abstract | This is a collection of original essays on a variety of bioethics topics including organ and egg donation, surrogate pregnancy, cbper-medicine, cloning, gene therapy and patenting, and human enhancement. The author of this collection sees to refute older arguments and attitudes about these new developments in medicine, by examining how now widely accepted procedures were once controversial, and how these same arguments are now being applied to these new procedures. The author discusses commonly held attitudes towards these more controversial areas of medicine puts forward some unique and intriguing reasons for why research in these areas should continue to move forward. |
