Even before its publication, opinions expressed in this highly controversial book about ethics caused uproar among thinkers and campaigners of different persuasions such as Mary Whitehouse, Ann Widdecombe and Dominic Lawson, editor of the Sunday Telegraph. In no uncertain terms the highly respected philosopher and public figure Lady Warnock explains in this book how to distinguish right from wrong in areas from euthanasia to abortion, Down s Syndrome, education and genetic engineering. Drawing on remarkably lucid examples from her personal and political life, Lady Warnock illustrates difficult cases to make her point succinctly and persuasively. She clarifies where she stands in relation to the philosophers of ethics in a concise and through-provoking way. This book is essential reading for students and those who want to keep up with the latest developments in the debates that rage in out complicated modern world.
