"The stakes in bioscience, both moral and financial, are high. While each of the landmark cases depicted in Ethics and the Business of Bioscience offers distinct lessons, in aggregate it becomes clear that those engaged in bioscience and business must learn to exercise moral reasoning as scientific adn financial decisions are being made. Eaton's accessible text should prove to be a useful resource for those learning to do so." --Journal of the American Medical Association
