The discipline of bioethics has made extraordinary advances in the past 30 years.

This is the first publication to provide in-depth analysis of critical topics in the field of bioethics from an international point of view.

The first part deals with theory and practice with subjects such as genetic engineering, organ transplantation and euthanasia discussed.

The second part is a collection of papers based on experience in the Americas, particularly looking at regional policy and the development of relevant institutions.

Ethical codes of practice are included in the appendices.
