In this book from the Institute of Medicine, six landmark cases offer insight into how we might confront future bioethical decisions more productively. Case studies reveal how the interplay of scientists, interestgroups, U.S. Congress, federal agencies, and the public determines biomedical public policy. The book explores how society decides what to do when discoveries such as RU-486 raise complex and emotional policy issues.
