Recreating Medicine - Ethical Issues at the Frontiers of Medicine

RECREATING MEDICINE offers a bold and insightful exploration of ethical issues that have arisen as a result of technological advances in medicine. Pence's candid discussions include the selling of organs and embryos, genetic planning, and human cloning. His controversial arguments often confront common thinking about medical technology -- but while going "outside the box", Pence always keeps a careful eye on ethics and improvements in our quality of life.
