Medical Ethics
This is a very informative book that is written in a way which is easy to understand. I found myself diving into it as if i was reading a novel. Excellent!

Informative!
I'm finishing up my undergraduate degree and am taking a biomedics ethic class. This book by Pence is your text for the classroom. I'm no expert by any means. This book has been a way for me to get my feet wet so to speak. I've learned a ton of information. It has opened my eyes to so much and sadly it has disheartened me on what seems to be hopeless topics such as abortion/antiabortionist, health care and lack thereof, etc. But that's the way things are.
I'm glad we're reading this book as a classroom text. I'm enjoying the chapters and am learning quite a bit.
Thanks, Pence! :)

Very Helpful but also slanted
Having taught Medical Ethics on the undergraduate level, I found this book to be helpful by giving a general acquaintance to students about the cases which have challenged and required extraordinary thought about how we establish our values about what it means to be human and what that means in the field of medical treatment.
The author's introduction to the philosophy was decidedly shallow and in many cases his bias against Christianity is very obvious. I used those opportunities to discuss these issues with my students. The over-all experience was positive. Terry Bell author of "The Love Ethic: Rediscovering Our Moral Compass."The Love Ethic

Everyone, Clinicians and Patients Alike, Should Know This Material
I have not read many medical/clinical ethics materials.
I am currently reading this as part of an undergraduate and post-bac philosophy class, however, and enjoy the material greatly.
I would recommend this read to anyone who sees doctors, is a doctor, or wants to be a doctor - which should be quite a large population
