The present volume is given to the study of Biomedical Ethics, which is, by far the most difficult, as well as, a new branch of Applied Ethics, on which very scanty materials are available. The branch called “Biomedical”, is concerned with life. The book discusses various problems of life, right from the primary stage of conception, ‘foetus’, female foeticide, new techniques of cloning, euthanasia, ageing in its multiple aspects, organ transplantation, Intellectual Property Rights/Copy Rights, bio-technology, neuro diseases and ethics of care, Health in Buddhist contexts, bioethics in Buddhists texts, and bioethics in Indian context, in general, etc. The book, provides rich information about all these complex problems, all of which come from specialized scholars of this field, having experience as well as expertise and would prove a most valuable text book, not only to the scholars/students engaged in the study in this field, but to the curious common readers as well.
