Abstract "Devoted to applied ethics, this book tries to give answers to the practical moral questions we ask in everyday life. This book focuses on just six popular and controversial topics: abortion, the environment, animals, poverty, punishment, disability. Each chapter is devoted to a famous or influential argument on one of these six topics. The six sections of the book (one for each topic) can be read in any order and independently. This book is set up to equip you, the reader, with the knowledge and tools to make up your own mind about the controversial topics covered. Bolded terms, boxed questions, and further reading suggestions round out the book, which is written in a friendly, untechnical style"-- Provided by publisher.
