Observing Bioethics is written by two social scientists who have been participants in and observers of US bioethics since the field's emergence. The book views bioethics appreciatively and critically as a complex phenomenon that is related to advances in modern biology and medicine, and to values and beliefs with which American society has been grappling in the public domains of its courts, legislatures, and media.
