From Chance to Choice
Genetics and Justice

"From Chance to Choice provides a much needed discussion of the fundamental ethical and social issues raised by the application of the new genetics to human beings...a style that combines complex analysis with great readability." Helga Kuhse, Bioethics

"From Chance to Choice: Genetics and Justice is a very admirable book, much deserving of the praise that is has already received... this is a very succesful volume. The authors have managed to raise an enormous range of issues related to genetic justice with great clarity. Further, they have succeeded in providing the reader with the conceptual tools necessary to begin to address these questions more fruitfully." Medical Humanities Review

"Amazingly, the authors approach this millenial philosophical issue without losing humanity. Their collective style of writing is a joy to read, and their work reads more like poetry than philosophy. Like poetry, too, their words are worth returning to several times, to unearth intentionally embedded subtext with enhanced meaning. Their book will be cited often." New England Journal of Medicine

"In a book which is notable both for the breadth of the questions posed and the depth of the potential responses, these four distinguished moral and political philosophers provide a much needed and well reasoned ethical compass for future journeys into genetics and genomics." Francis S. Collins, Director, National Human Genome Research Institute, National Institutes for Health, Washington, D.C.

"...the book is an excellent analysis of how to approach the ethical dilemmas raised by biotechnology, particularly concerning distributive justice, from the standpoint of liberal theory. This is a big achievement. Buchanan, Brock, Daniels, and Wikler are on to something big." Boston Book Review

"Buchanan, Brock, Daniels, and Wikler--all philosophers, each with different subspecialities in ethics and bioethics--have written a comprehensive, careful, focused, and usefully opinionated book in which they speak in a surprisingly univocal fashion.... the book's nuanced analyses and detailed arguments...are rewarding to work through." The Philosophical Review

"The field of bioethics needs more books like this one." Ethics
