“Practical Bioethics has clearly been authored with an active and collaborative classroom in mind. It will be especially valuable to instructors who wish to provide their students with a balanced presentation of both secondary and primary sources, opening the door to conversation and exploration. This is a text aimed at not just presenting the central positions and arguments but also cultivating students’ critical thinking skills.” — Alex Feldt, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
“This is a comprehensive textbook designed with today’s students in mind. Each chapter contains an opening and closing case, ideal for promoting classroom discussion. J.K. Miles’s most novel contribution is the short asides embedded in each reading, which prompt further engagement while providing students with guideposts as they explore pivotal articles in the field. In the hands of a seasoned instructor, Practical Bioethics will do what many other texts do not: bring the exciting, dynamic field of bioethics alive for students.” — Deborah Barnbaum, Kent State University
“Practical Bioethics is aptly named: it is an eminently practical approach to the complex issues presented in clinical settings. It is also superbly designed: each chapter presents a case study, frames the conceptual issues at stake, provides balanced readings with helpful annotations to guide the reader, and ends with an ethics committee exercise. I have taught bioethics to undergraduate and graduate students for more than a decade, and in my opinion this text meets a longstanding need. In addition to serving ‘patients and practitioners,’ as the subtitle notes, it is also a superb platform for students.” — Matthew Hickey, Colorado State University
“Miles’s textbook provides an excellent guide to teaching bioethics, particularly, I think, to undergraduates and others without much formal philosophy training. The briefing on how to read bioethics papers combined with the scaffolding internal to each chapter makes the book as a whole a digestible and accessible and, perhaps more importantly, a truly thought-provoking introduction to bioethics in practice.” — Erica Bigelow, in Teaching Philosophy
