Editorial Reviews
Review
“Given the task of writing an introductory book on the difficult subject of life and death issues, the authors have done an excellent job of presenting the material in a clear and precise manner.”–Church and Synagogue Libraries
Product Description
This work is an introductory treatment of issues and options in social and bioethics which center on the end of life. The purpose of Moreland and Geisler's book is to offer a beginning survey of these issues to someone unfamiliar with philosophy. The book simplifies and summarizes various end-of-life topics without being simplistic or caricaturing different viewpoints, even though the authors' own viewpoint is made perfectly clear. The major intention of this book is to make the reader think more clearly and deeply about the important issues discussed between its covers.
