Critics Review
‘Symons has made an important contribution to the debate on how to resolve disagreements regarding the provision of morally controversial but legally permissible medical interventions.

While it is unlikely to be persuasive to all, no one concerned about these issues will be able to ignore it.’
Prof. Daniel Sulmasy, Director, Kennedy Institute for Ethics, Georgetown University, United States
