What do you think about cloning, stem cell research, brain enhancement,
or doing experiments on newly dead patients? Read Smart Mice, Not so
Smart People and you'll know what Art Caplan thinks. But this assortment
of pithy, provocative opinions on all things bioethical does more than
simply give you a piece of the author's mind--it also invites and even
dares you to make up your own mind. In his typical style, Caplan--one of
the most sought-after bioethicists of our time--provokes discussion on
issues at the center of the new genetics, cloning in the laboratory and
in the media, stem cell research, experiments on human subjects, blood
donation and organ transplantation, and healthcare delivery. Are new
developments in these areas good or bad? As an engaged citizen in a
democratic society, it is your responsibility to decide. This book will
help you do it.
