Críticas

Very good for a broad overview of the topic and quite balanced in its perspective. A number of chapters make reference to "animal liberation" and are respectful of it, although dismissive, as the should be when its implications are properly understood. A few of the chapters were overly philosophically technical, but still readable.

The 1979 version of this classic of principlism sought to integrate ethical theory with disciplined, self-conscious medical practice through principles of autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice.
