July 20, 2020This was actually very memorable and what I read in this text might come in handy in law school!

Good collection of essays regarding bioethics. However, many of the essays are written from a philosophical standpoint which unfortunately often leaves more questions than answers. I found many of the essays included in this collection to to void of any actual concrete evidence and based more upon personal opinion.

Excellent resource for bioethical information and case studies.

Probably favorite class I've taken so far. Ethics is super frustrating and simultaneously very satisfying.
