I read this as an undergraduate while taking a course in medical ethics. I later went on to medical school, and I read a few other texts and many other sources for most of the same material. This book is by far the best of all of these that I've seen. It's almost perfect in the scope it covers and in its readability. It gives a good overview and raises intriguing questions in each section. It almost perfect. I can't recommend it enough. It is well worth a look.

i was very much so surprised it came with the other book of core concepts and that i got both of them for that price thank u!...

This text was exactly what I was looking for and it arrived on time! Thanks!

The description that was provided was truthful and because of that I knew what to expect from this used book
