This edited volume focuses on new perspectives in bioethics and features papers the greatest bulk of which is devoted to the issue of human enhancement. In light of an accelerated development of science that allows for such enhancement, an essential issue is the effect of enhancement on human nature, its moral justification and the character of a future society. In addition to this issue, the volume also contains chapters that deal with equally controversial questions such as abortion and savior siblings. Even though these topics certainly do not exhaust the domain of new perspectives in bioethics, it has to be noted that the papers collected here feature some of the key argument that are representative of the current state of affairs in bioethics.
