Recenzii

"As a leader and pioneer in the field, Veatch is very solid in terms of accuracy."
Kyle Fedler, Ashland University, USA

"I've used the Veatch book in teaching bioethics in short courses to non-philosophy audiences: medical students, physical therapy students, physician assistants, etc. They like it very much. It is readable, accessible, and interesting. The examples are well-chosen and memorable. The topics are well-chosen and coverage [is] appropriate. The presentation is balanced and thought-provoking."
Leslie Pickering Francis, University of Utah, USA
