Anotacija:

     Biomedical policy calls for a critical synthesis of work in bioethics and public policy analysis. The essays collected here are pioneering efforts to forge that synthesis. Each makes an important statement; collectively, they represent the finest thinking available on ethical and social issues in health care rationing, and genetic and reproductive technologies.
