Ethical Debates

This fascinating and absorbing new set of titles explores a number of contemporary ethical dilemmas, including abortion, advertising, freedom of information, same-sex marriage, and stem-cell research. The questions raised in these debates are ones without easy answers. Each volume gives the background of the debate and, in an evenhanded way, explores the competing values that make the issue so thorny. The books provide statistical and factual background, real-life case studies, timelines, and opinion panels representing a wide variety of views.
