Summary: Boring enough to put you to sleep!
Review: In my opinion, the book is long (2 columns per page and small font), some things are repeated or over-explained and definitely not in lamens terms. I was so bored reading this book that my stomach begin to twist in knots. I also believe the author was very anxious to show off their vocabulary. It may be a little more interesting if it was a little more down to earth instead of using sentences such as "As in all such masculine invocations of original perfection, Eve has vanished." Every once and a while, I got interested in some of the topics. Other than that, if it werent for a class that I needed this for, I would not have bought this.

Summary: Crucial Ethical Issues of Today's Technology and Science
Review: This is such a timely and needed publication. The book offers insightful chapters by authors who are scholars within this area of study. Other chapters offer insight into today's world of technology and science. Remaining chapters provide insightful perspectives by authors that incorporate the ethical issues involved in both technology and science. The authors and publisher, I believe, are TOTALLY on the right track with their belief that this is a very crucial publication for today's society. The first chapter by Morton Winston, "Children of Invention," tells the reader what is going on currently in our society within the area of ethics, technology, and science; where we were, where we are now, and why we need to look at this for our future. This publication is ground breaking. With our society's current stance of available access to technology and developments in science our ethical decision-making related to these disciplines ARE our future; the authors of this book have provided us with excellent topics and issues to "Begin the Discussion."
