"... a welcome addition to the literature." —Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences

"A stimulating book for those women and men (feminist and non-feminist) interested in medical ethics." —Maternal and Child Health
"... landmark [event] in bioethics... "Â —Women & Health
The aim of this volume is to show how a feminist perspective advances biomedical ethics by uncovering inconsistencies in traditional argument and by arguing for the importance of hitherto ignored factors in decision making. These essays include both theory and very specific examples that demonstrate the glaring inadequacy of mainstream medical ethics.
