What are the ethical implications of social restrictions during a pandemic? Is it ethical to use animals in clinical research? Is prioritizing COVID-19 treatment increasing deaths from other causes? Bioethics is a dynamic field of inquiry that draws on interdisciplinary expertise and methodology to address normative issues in healthcare, medicine, biomedical research, biotechnology, public health, and the environment. \u003ci\u003eThis Is Bioethics\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal introductory textbook for students new to the field, exploring the fundamental questions, concepts, and issues within this rapidly evolving area of study.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAssuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this accessible volume helps students consider both traditional and cutting-edge questions, develop informed and defensible answers, and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a diverse range of ethical positions in medicine. The authors avoid complex technical terms and jargon in favor of an easy-to-follow, informal writing style with engaging chapters designed to stimulate student interest and encourage class discussion. The book also features a deep dive into the realm of global public health ethics, including the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It considers topics like triage decision-making, the proportionality of society's response to COVID-19, whether doctors have a professional obligation to treat COVID-19 patients, and whether vaccines for this virus should be mandatory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA timely addition to the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eThis Is Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e  series, \u003ci\u003eThis Is Bioethics\u003c\/i\u003e is the ideal primary textbook for undergraduate bioethics and practical ethics courses, and is a must-have reference for students in philosophy, biology, biochemistry, and medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Introduction to Ethics 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Religion and Ethics 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Law and Ethics 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2.1 Legal and Moral Rights 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Ethical Relativism 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Why be Ethical?
