I have used the Pence "Medical Ethics" casebook. It is competent tier-three scholarship: It neither advances new notions or syntheses in ethics (medical or bio- or otherwise), nor does it offer elucidating commentary on such notions or syntheses. It offers a pretty decent overview of the received opinions in ethics as they get nattered about by medical- and bio-ethicists (a varied group that seems largely composed of self-defined, well, whatever...). What is particularly annoying – and of dubious moral worth – is Pence's manner of generating new royalty income. He juggles the same chapters around in new configurations, then calls the result a new edition. Not all that uncommon a ploy, but at least the other guys put new, up-to-date stuff in the colorful sidebars. All Pence does is change the subtitle from "classic cases" to "groundbreaking cases". Pfui; moral turpitude masquerading as "ethics".--djenner (talk) 20:37, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure as the subject of the article how to add references such as this new one:

Remove "His textbook, Medical Ethics,[11] one of the field's standards, was 28 years old in 2018 in its 8th edition[12]"

Replace with "His textbook, Medical Ethics, was 34 years old in 2024 when it had its 10th edition."

"His textbook, Medical Ethics,[11] one of the field's standards, was 28 years old in 2018 in its 8th edition[12]"

My textbook, Medical Ethics, one of the field's standards, is 34 years old in 2024, now in its 10th edition. Here is the source: https://www.amazon.com/Medical-Ethics-Accounts-Ground-Breaking-Cases-ebook/dp/B09HBPQG26

The subject - User:Pence is me.

djenner appears biased against me and against any writer making money from royalties. I doubt this person understands how much work goes into updating each edition and creating new chapters (now there are 21 chapters). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pence (talk • contribs) 21:36, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
