Ethics, Law and Society - Volume 2
Ashgate Publishing, Oct 2006, Pages: 352
The second volume in a series exploring key issues in ethics, law and society, published in association with the Cardiff Centre for Ethics, Law and Society.
This volume presents a selection of papers and commentaries on topics in bioethics, ethics and society, and business and professional ethics. Multidisciplinary in approach, the work will be a valuable resource for all those concerned with contemporary ethical issues.
Reviews:
'This provocative and wide ranging book will interest both readers well versed in the study of ethics and those new to the field. Some chapters give a different perspective on well discussed topics like consent to medical treatment. For example, should decisions sometimes be made by families, rather than by individuals; and how should one balance the protection of vulnerable children with their rights to be involved in making decisions that affect them? Other chapters focus on the ethics of contemporary issues like war crimes trials, research on the human genome and conservation of cultural materials. Some are particularly innovative, such as the ethics of umbilical cord cell banking, and the ethics of the toy industry. The book provides stimulating reading and a source for new ideas and scholarship.'
Loane Skene, University of Melbourne, Australia
'This book is essential reading for anyone with interest in the broader area of ethics, law and society. The collection of papers covers a range of issues, likely to interest the expanding multidisciplinary readership. In providing a snapshot of current dilemmas and thinking the book embraces a more general, wide-ranging picture, which is likely to be of importance both as a knowledge-base, as point of departure for debate, and as a source of inspiration for future creative scholarship.'
Linda Nielsen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
