My teacher required newer edition, but I got this one, and I'm glad I did. The theories and articles in this book are the same as in a newer edition. The book was in good condition; no missing pages or highlightings, but with some cover wear.
Many of the classes I attend require APA papers that include moral arguments as well as medical discussion. I frequently use this book as a reference, it presents interesting case studies and clear definitions of the terms used specifically in bioethics.
I purchased this for the online medical ethics course I am taking this summer. It covers various important aspects in bioethics. It contains background and summary, cases, article readings in each chapter. Since my online course only provides with powerpoint lecture slides, the whole course is very much self-learn, and so far I think it's a great bioethics textbook.
I do not necessarily agree with some of the other posters. This text offers a comprehensive look into the realm of Biomedical Ethics. For the college courses that utilize this book, it should provide a reaffirmation of the material discussed in lecture. The topics are current in regards to society today. Overall I would recommend this to anyone in a college bioethics course, or someone looking for a reference for practice.
I read this entire book, Mr. Gunderson, I swear to god! If it's on the internet, it's true.
Not a lot to be said about this, other than it was a required textbook for my daughter, and it was received quickly and in good shape. Prime is the way to go when it comes to buying textbooks.
I had to purchase this book for class and I really enjoyed it. It's not your average boring textbook. It contains very clear and easy to understand concepts with many examples and cases.
While some of the text is long and tedious, the articles provided give a solid representation of each ethical issue and the principles that follow. Great for my biomedical ethics course!
