«One of the best books I have ever read on the issue of abortion.»
Ethical Perspectives
«A timely, balanced, and comprehensive examination of the abortion controversy. As an introductory text, it does everything right: it presents the material in a clear and engaging manner, it makes explicit the premises underlying the various positions, and it models good philosophical practice by evaluating those positions in an even-handed and objective manner.»
Theodore Schick, Professor of Philosophy, Muhlenberg College, USA
«This book is a refreshing teaching resource, bringing rigour and nuance to an often stale and gratuitously-polarised debate. Cantens is determined that readers should make up their own minds, and accordingly equips them in the basics of logic and normative ethics, empowering them to be active, critical participants in adjudicating the major arguments with an eye to their social context.»
Arianne Shahvisi, Lecturer in Ethics, Brighton and Sussex Medical School, UK
