From the publisher: The ethical issues included deal with family and culture (female circumcision, marriage and divorce, sexuality, domestic violence); state policy (religious freedom and human rights, family planning); economics and ecology (land reform, land development, child labor, insider trading); and public health and medicine (AIDS, organ donation, reproductive technology, care of the disabled). Geared for courses in social ethics, comparative religion, world religions, or cross-cultural studies, the book's introduction provides an overview of world religions, including Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Sikhism, Baha'i, and Indigenous religions. It also includes material on how to use the case method approach in teaching religious ethics.

MORE THAN ONE RIGHT ANSWER TO MORAL DILEMMAS,
By FRANK MAHON (EVANSTON, ILLINOIS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ethics and World Religions: Cross-Cultural Case Studies (Paperback)
The book is a presentation of 18 moral dilemmas - problems faced by ordinary people from a variety of cultures and religions. Faced with these problems, the people involved have come to a moral crossroads. Each case study is presented in well-written, concise prose, resulting in compelling storytelling. After each case study, representatives of two relgions dissect the problem and explain how the situation would be viewed and handled in accordance with their religions. A young Indian must choose the life he wants in the U.S. to returning home to marry the wife who has been pre-selected. A chinese wife, learning that she is pregnant, must decide to have an ultrasound test that would almost certainly lead to an abortion if the fetus is determined to be female. A British nurse questions a surgeon's activity when she suspects operations are part of an organ selling scheme. The selling of an organ in one case means survival of the donor's family in the midst of great povery. What the reader comes away with is that there is more than one right answer. The viewpoints of different religions are interesting and sometimes surprising and the reader soon realizes that these issues of ethics are much more complex than they might seem to be at first. This is a book of conflicting loyalties - the stuff from which great drama springs.
