Pretty darn good for...well...applied ethics. Gives a decent range of topics and opinions. (Although, of course, pretty much all of the pro-lifers were men and the pro-choicers women. Go figure.) Some arguments I found to be poorly made. Although I can't exactly blame the editors for the content per se, I can still blame them for allowing such arguments into the book in the first place.
