Matters of Life and Death, 3/e is a collection of original essays devoted to the major moral issues of the day, including abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty, famine, war, suicide, the environment, and animal rights. The essays are written by moral philosophers who are among the leading thinkers of the world. The previous two editions of this book have been heralded for the clarity and accessibility of the essays, and both editions have enjoyed strong options. The third edition is even better.
