Margaret Somerville, Bird on a Wire: Battles About Values in the Culture Wars, (Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2015.)

Resumen

Not a week goes by without some news about conflicting opinions in the area of bioethics: abortion or euthanasia; what to do regarding genetic defects or what is licit when it comes to assisted reproduction methods. Underlying the media stories are major conflicts regarding the ethical principles that should guide decisions and it is this debate that is the focus of a recent book by Australian-born, long resident in Canada, ethicist Margaret Somerville.
