نویسنده
چکیده
In 2 crisp introductory chapters, editor H. Tristram Engelhardt Jr assembles evidence to support this claim. Culture wars have fragmented bioethics into rival camps. Competing groups, each adhering to a different worldview, endlessly dispute the major issues of human life: sexuality, reproduction, allocation of resources, the significance of suffering and dying. It is impossible to resolve controversies through rational argument because people disagree about the "foundational character of morality itself" (p 2).
