This title in the Issues in Focus Today series provides an overview of the big moral issues brought about by breakthroughs in biotechnology. Altman is fair to all sides, whether the passionate argument is about abortion, the cloning of animals, assisted suicide, artificial life support, or organ transplants. Readers will recognize the real-world cases discussed, such as those involving Terri Schiavo and Christopher Reeve. The readable style and clear, abundantly illustrated design will stimulate debate, and detailed chapter notes will help students find out more. Hazel Rochman
