Julian - I have no idea - so I asked Perplexity … needless to say can neither confirm nor deny the accuracy of ‘goodness/quality’ - BUT the associated URLs all seem real.

Based on the search results and popular recommendations, some of the best books on bioethics include:

1. “Principles of Biomedical Ethics” by Tom L. Beauchamp and James F. Childress - This is widely considered the foundational text in the field, now in its 8th edition[^1][^2].
2. “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot - A highly acclaimed book that explores the ethical issues surrounding the use of human cells in medical research[^1].
3. “Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End” by Atul Gawande - This book examines end-of-life care and the ethical considerations involved[^1].
4. “Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present” by Harriet Washington - A crucial work that addresses the ethical implications of race in medical research and practice[^3].
5. “Classic Cases in Medical Ethics” by Gregory E. Pence - This textbook recounts landmark cases in medical ethics, providing a comprehensive overview of the field[^4].

These books offer a range of perspectives on bioethics, from foundational principles to specific case studies and historical analyses. They are frequently recommended by experts and educational institutions for those seeking to understand the complexities of bioethical issues.

Looks like Markdown is a little ‘munted’ - but you can probably work it out faster than I can fix it :-(

Just reporting that whatever was cauding the Mac App to crash @manton - I just installed the new version you released yesterday and all is working as it should. Thanks for adding the summary field.

@Moondeer in that case I’m going to use both randomly.

@Moondeer is that pronounced kis-met-e-an or kis-mesh-un?

I need to use it in conversation.

@manton ‘more’ .. definitely … but I think ‘most’ won’t … that’s their market.

@Moondeer 💕❤️ Today of all days I am so happy to have some happy … how did you know? T H A N K Y O U ♥️🐶

@manton I apparently rarely (ever?) do it - so it threw me - trying to work out why it was on the timeline - but not on my website - nor posts.

I get the behavior WITHOUT a title - but with a title surely should say ‘post’ since there isn’t the idea of replies with a title. #10cents

@manton not sure if you saw my post into the help community yesterday re my broken app .. hope this fixes it … and because my Mac app is broken .. using iOS a lot more .. so really looking forward to that back button fix in the top left corner

@bradenslen I know we shouldn’t celebrate such destruction … but it’s ok to smile .. right?
