The Ethical Canary: Science, Society and the Human Spirit (Signed) - Somerville, Margaret
SIGNED BY MARGARET SOMERVILLE on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; bump with small tear to upper back corner; slight wear to upper edge of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; From the therapeutic and research use of human embryos and aborted fetuses to physician-assisted suicide and parents' right to refuse medical interventions for a sick child, The Ethical Canary explores some of the most important and controversial questions confronting as individuals and as a society. In what is certain to be heralded as a major contribution to the contemporary search for ethics, Margaret Somerville calls on us to recognize that our anxieties and intuitions can be valuable guides, and concludes that there is more that we can do with our new science than we ought to do.
