• Presents a dynamic mix of present or near-future case studies (fictional), scientific explanations, and discussions of ethics
• Addresses topics that are frequently in the media, such as cloning, organ transplantation, and genetic modification, and clarifies concepts that people have heard about but may not fully understand
• Summarizes arguments in favor and against to allow readers to form their own opinions on important ethical debates
