Recenzii
"Well written and very readable … can [chapters] can be read either as stand-alone papers or as part of the whole. Despite its title the book does more then ‘scratch the surface’ of bioethics. … while a background knowledge of the main arguments and better known writings in bioethics is definitely a help, the volume may also be useful for those making their first tentative steps in the vast array of academic literature in this field." - in: Bulletin of Medical Ethics, No. 204 (December 2004/January 2005)
"The book contains several chapters that echo the practical ethical concerns that health professionals confront in their work. They do more than just ‘scratch the surface of bioethics’ and make the book as a whole a useful addition to the libraries of health professionals" - in: Nursing Ethics 11(3) (2004)
"If the discipline of ethics can have its ‘metaethics’, then the discipline of bioethics can have its ‘metabioethics’. This book would be a notable contribution to such a discipline … an excellent collection of essays which are accessibly written, relatively short, and highly thought provoking. Clinicians, caring professionals, philosophers, and students who have some familiarity with the bioethical literature will gain greatly from reading it. If the maturity of a discipline is evidenced by its willingness to reflect on its own assumptions and methods, then this book is a mark of such maturity in bioethics." - in: Metapsychology (Dec. 2003)
