Summary: Not real impressed
Review: I have never really been fond of Ethics and Moral code to begin with because most of the articles fail to realize the whole point of what they are writing about. This book really wasn't any different. The articles about Abortion are weak and they don't fully explain what their whole point of what they are writing about is. It doesn't help matters when every article in this book is so drawn out. Everything that is said in this book could be done so in about 2 or 3 pages instead it is drawn out to about 10 to 15 pages. The authors are basically repeating themselves over and over throughout the entire article. I personally don't think this would be a great buy but maybe thats because I find all the arguments in moral and ethic philosophies are very weak and not at all to the point.

Summary: an excellent collection of essays
Review: this is a really good collection of essays on various ethical problems. Each section starts with an excellent summary of the arguments and then introduces the topic through a very controversial piece - for exemple the section on animal rights starts with an essay by Peter Singer. I teach ethics in high school and the students struggled with many of the high level ideas but the struggle was usually worth it, they loved some of the ideas contained within this book.
