Keown (Buddhism, Goldsmiths College, U. of London, UK) applies Buddhist principles to some major contemporary problems in biomedical ethics, including abortion and euthanasia, although the latest perspectives on genetic engineering are not treated. No prior knowledge of Buddhism or ethics is assumed. Updates to the first 1995 hardback edition consist of minor typographical corrections. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
