Future Bioethics Reviews

"Bioethical debate has seldom been more vibrant, or more important. From discussions about abortion to end of life, bioethicists are there. Ronald Lindsay, a lawyer with a doctorate in bioethics, is particularly well placed to bring his voice to the arena in his new book, Future Bioethics. Discussions often begin from controversial positions that are entrenched in dogma. Lindsay's mission is to expose and debunk these myths. He does so in a book that is readable rather than obscure, and accessible to the interested lay person as well as to scholars in the field. Lindsay throws a number of powerful punches. Each chapter is richly informed by factual and theoretical discussion and approached in the common-sense way that Lindsay recommends. His use of practical examples to point out inconsistencies in arguments is vivid and gives the non-expert reader insight into these issues. Overall, in his readable, reasoned and accessible book that challenges the taboos of bioethics, Lindsay achieves what he set out to do." --Nature, International Weekly Journal of Science, October 23, 2008 "Issues such as assistance in dying, genetic engineering, and embryonic stem cell research evoke a lot of instinctive reactions that often lack factual support. Lindsay, a bioethicist, provides an insightful analysis on how to achieve pragmatic solutions to these issues." --Bookviews.com, November 2008 "Future Bioethics would be useful as a supplemental reading for students in health care fields. Highly recommended." -- Choice, February 1, 2009
