Beskrivning
Modern advances in science and medicine bring with them an array of complex ethical dilemmas. In Ethical Issues for a New Millennium editor John Howie addresses contemporary ethical problems that will remain foremost in our minds in the years ahead. Each essay is written by a recognized authority within his or her specific field, and brings to light ethical questions rooted in ongoing philosophical debates in arenas such as human rights, the welfare state, women's rights, genetic and gender equality, genetic equity, cloning, organ transplants, environmental ethics, insurrectionist ethics, and the erosion of moral sensibility. These lectures were originally presented at Southern Illinois University as part of the Wayne Leys Memorial Lectures series. This collection represents the fourth volume in the series.

Wise ethicists require from us an individual accounting for the choices we make lest we erode the moral sensitivity we have struggled to enliven. Still other voices insist upon the human right to rebel against governments or societies that would crush such a right or seek to deny its importance as a key to the self-governance indispensable for the moral character of humankind. - John Howie, from the Introduction
