Review
Ultimately, the innovations and court decisions most associated with bioethics, Stevens shows, were less rooted in concern about the abuse of patients than in researchers' and biomedical institutions' desires for the freedom to pursue new medical technologies and their need for protection from legal liability. Bioethics has served more as a 'midwife' to new medical research and technologies than as a critic. These findings should concern all of us. Steven's critical analysis of bioethics is a valuable revision.
(Leslie J. Reagan
American Historical Review)
An interesting and provocative book, well worth reading for the issues it raises as well as for the historical analysis of the bioethics movement.
(Audrey K. Gordon
Perspectives in Biology and Medicine)
Bioethics in America merits our attention. It will encourage additional reflection on the sources and meaning of the rise of this new profession dedicated to moral arbitration.
(Raymond DeVries
Journal of American History)
Stevens has a pithy prose style and a healthy willingness to challenge received wisdom.
(Robert Baker, Ph.D
Journal of the History of Medicine)
A major contribution to the history of bioethics.
