Overview

Ethics provide us with a moral center, and give us a sense of good and bad, but they are always in the eye of the beholder. This essential volume will help readers navigate through the endless debates about ethics. Divergent viewpoints are shared as each topic is discussed, proving readers with more than one intelligent opinion to consider. Readers will explore the basis for ethics, and examine changing boundaries and secular values. The essays cover what ethics should guide decisions about life, including the morally relevant moments of life, and in aiding in death decisions and health care. Essays also debate how ethics should guide economic policies like the free market and minimum wage.

Review: Ethics Each volume in the Opposing Viewpoints series could serve as a model...not only providing access to a wide diversity of opinions, but also stimulating readers to do further research for group discussion and individual interest. Both shrill and moderate, the selections--by experts, policy makers, and concerned citizens--include complete articles and speeches, long book excerpts, and occasional cartoons and boxed quotations...all up to date and fully documented. The editing is intelligent and unobtrusive, organizing the material around substantive issues within the general debate. Brief introductions to each section and to each reading focus the questions raised and offer no slick answers.--Booklist
