For nearly 30 years, whenever bioethics has been in the headlines, Gregory E. Pence's name has been in the by-line. Brave New Bioethics gathers 35 of Pence's most influential, groundbreaking, and personal essays into one broad-ranging volume. "For nearly 30 years, whenever bioethics has been in the headlines, Gregory E. Pence's name has been in the by-line. Pence is one of America's pioneering bioethicists, and has never been afraid to go his own way or stir up a little controversy. Brave New Bioethics gathers 35 of Pence's most influential, groundbreaking, and personal essays into one broad-ranging volume. It includes essays on cloning, AIDS, dignified death, and test-tube babies that first appeared in publications from The Wall Street Journal to Newsweek and from The New York Times to the Journal of the American Medical Association." "Although the 34 previously published essays in this collection reveal little that is either brave or new, Pence (Designer Food) revels in challenging media stereotypes of bioethics as well as conservative philosophical positions on cloning and assisted reproduction. These short pieces range widely over topics including reproductive and therapeutic cloning, assisted reproduction, organ donation, assisted suicide, genetically modified foods and public health care costs. Pence contends that the media have often misrepresented human cloning by reporting that it would produce an identical person to the donor. In fact, he argues, a human clone can never be an exact copy of the donor because the clone will grow up in different social and parenting environments. Pence also argues for lifting the ban on federally funded fertility research on embryos to benefit infertile couples for whom in vitro fertilization is too expensive." - Publishers Weekly You may also be interested in these important periodicals: (information provided by the publisher) You may also be interested in / The Directory of Healthcare Recruiters / Jump to a List / Health Administration & Leadership / Physician Executive, Medical Staff & Practice Management / Finance, Accounting, Economics, Billing & Reimbursement / Coding for Hospital, Physician & Clinical Services / Law, Malpractice, Ethics, Accreditation & Compliance / Quality Improvement, Outcomes & Customer Service / Risk Management, Security, Error Reduction & Patient Safety / Information Systems, Technology & Medical Records / Clinical Management & Executive Nursing / Behavioral Health, Social Work & Psychiatry Management / Human Resources, Management & Supervision / Directories, Data, Trends & Benchmarks / Software & CD-ROMs / Gift Ideas & Recommended Gifts / Journals, Magazines & Newsletters / Search for Books / Books Index / Go Back to Pages / Home Page / Toolbox for Health Administrators / Bookstore /
