Policies for an Aging Society
Glannon provides thorough and well-balanced views on some of the key biomedical ethical issues most pertinent today. The book was comprehensive enough to be used for my Philosophy of Health Care class at the University of Alberta. However, although Glannon touches on most of the necessary points for various issues, the arguments he utilizes are not the strongest ones existing for various philosophical branches.
