Summary
Ethics
Ethics provide us with a moral center, and give us a sense of good and bad, but they are always in the eye of the beholder. This essential volume will help readers navigate through the endless debates about ethics. Divergent viewpoints are shared as each topic is discussed, proving readers with more than one intelligent opinion to consider. Readers will explore the basis for ethics, and examine changing boundaries and secular values. The essays cover what ethics should guide decisions about life, including the morally relevant moments of life, and in aiding in death decisions and health care. Essays also debate how ethics should guide economic policies like the free market and minimum wage.
