Solid meh. All I can say is that this book exists, and provides a decent overview to methods in biomedical ethics. The problem with the book is deeper: Are there actually any methods in medical ethics? This book does a good job covering the major differences between prescriptive philosophy and descriptive social science, but if you actually want to *do* any of this stuff at a graduate level, you'll need a lot more education. And if you want to do bioethics in a clinical setting--well, that's an entirely different conversation.
