Reseña del editor
Mary Warnock debates the difficult moral issues of today such as abortion and euthanasia and explores the nature of ethics and how we make moral decisions. Even before its publication, opinions expressed in this highly controversial book about ethics have caused uproar among thinkers and campaigners of different persuasions such as Mary Whitehouse, Ann Widdecombe MP 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 ranging 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 thought-provoking way.
