Reviews"This is a terrific, highly engaging introduction to bioethics. It gives practitioners and students of medicine, nursing, and law the language, theoretical background, and basic legal knowledge to join the conversation about important contemporary problems in bioethics, and includes plenty of practice thinking through knotty problems." - Michelle M. Mello, Stanford Law School "Bioethics in Contextis a welcome book for bioethics instructors. Most bioethics issues are inextricably tied to legal concerns; consequently, they cannot be understood without an appreciation of the current laws. This text is unique in its recognition of the importance of this relationship. It addresses the ethical and legal issues together, providing a robust understanding of the topics. The authors have done an admirable job in making both ethics and the law accessible for students." - Joan McGregor, Arizona State University "Bioethics in Contextshould be enthusiastically received by teachers of biomedical ethics. Jones and DeMarco provide up-to-date coverage of all the principal issues in the field, masterfully discussing the main positions, arguments, and contributors to current debates. What sets this book apart, however, are the rich chapter-length discussions of issues that receive insufficient attention in many of the current textbooks in this area-for example, the challenges to healthcare professionals raised by increasing multiculturalism, the treatment of mental illness, transplantation ethics, and the ethical and legal issues facing nurses. Throughout the book, Jones and DeMarco provide a wealth of concrete case studies and emphasize the way ethical, legal, and social norms intersect and sometimes conflict. Highly recommended." David Svolba, Fitchburg State University
