'The book succeeds in its aim to allow teachers to be well informed about these complex issues and hence to be confident in running, guiding and supporting work with pupils and helping them to come to views that are well informed and founded on a sound knowledge base. This book is essential reading for all science teachers as the issues involved all feature, to varying degrees, in the curriculum at key stages 3 and 4.' - School Science Review'This is an interesting and thought-provoking book which suggests to teachers how they may frame their discussions on bioethics with students and also provides essays on some of the most relevant issues currently faced by teachers.' - Journal of Biological Education
