Guide Rating -  
Pros  •  Offers insight into the various ways certain ethical issues can be addressed and answered
•  Addresses critical problems too few people have seriously thought about
Cons  •  Greater variety in perspectives on some issues would have been welcome
The Bottom Line - The book is more than just a collection of facts and descriptions, because the contributing authors generally make a point to discuss the fundamental values they are using to arrive at their conclusions. A study of the values one might use is key in helping people arrive at their own conclusions.
