An important and unique feature of the text is its 3-pronged treatment of the history, methods, and topics of bioethics. Each topic discussed, such as withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatment, is looked at from each of these perspectives.
Discusses the cultural assumptions in the history of bioethics, the methods of bioethics, and the practice of bioethics.
Presents multi-disciplinary perspectives that incorporate philosophical, historical, empirical, cultural, legal, and medical analyses of bioethical questions.
