Ethical Issues for a New Millennium Edited by John Howie  July 2002 cloth, 0-8093-2442-3, $35.00s 240 pages, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Philosophy   Wayne Leys Memorial Lectures   “Wise ethicists require from us an individual accounting for the choices we make lest we erode the moral sensitivity we have struggled to enliven. Still other voices insist upon the human right to rebel against governments or societies that would crush such a right or seek to deny its importance as a key to the self-governance indispensable for the moral character of humankind.” —John Howie, from the Introduction   Modern advances in science and medicine bring with them an array of complex ethical dilemmas. In Ethical Issues for a New Millennium editor John Howie addresses contemporary ethical problems with eight essays from top thinkers in the field. This collection offers new and comprehensive overviews of some very tough ethical issues that will remain foremost in our minds in the years ahead.  Each essay is written by a recognized authority within his or her specific field, and brings to light ethical questions rooted in ongoing philosophical debates in arenas such as human rights, the welfare state, women’s rights, genetic and gender equality, genetic equity, cloning, organ transplants, environmental ethics, insurrectionist ethics, and the erosion of moral sensibility.          These lectures were originally presented at Southern Illinois University as part of the Wayne Leys Memorial Lectures series. This collection represents the fourth volume in the series.   John Howie, a professor emeritus of philosophy at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
