Even before its publications, opinions expressed in this highly controversial book about ethics caused uproar among thinkers and campaigners of different persuasions such as Mary Whitehouse, Ann Widdecombe and Dominic Lawson, editor of the Sunday Telegraph. In no uncertain terms the highly respected philosopher and public figure Lady Warnock explains in this book how to distinguish right from wrong in areas ranging from euthanasia to abortion, Down's Syndrome, educations and genetic engineering. Drawing on remarkably lucid examples from her personal and political life, Lady Warnock illustrates difficult cases to make her point succinctly and persuasively. She clarifies where she stands in relations to the philosopher of ethics in a concise and thought-provoking way.
