In 1951 a hospital kept a few cells from a dying woman's tumor without asking her. Their descendants are still growing in laboratories around the world, and they helped build the polio vaccine. Was anything wrong? Most people's quick answer gives way to a harder second one, and that is where bioethics lives: in the gap between what medicine can do and what it should do, for whom, and with whose permission.

You will meet the trials, lawsuits and scandals that forced doctors to ask before experimenting on people, and the arguments that still divide decent people about dying, abortion, embryos and gene editing, with each side given its strongest case. Faced with a hard medical choice, from a transplant list to a quarantine order, you will then be able to name the values pulling against each other and what a fair decision would have to respect.
