The moral decision

the long version

This book is a bold venture in the exploration of right and wrong, spanning the entire cycle of human existence from birth to death. Each topic is introduced with a real courtroom case followed by a summary of the uncontroverted facts, the issues before the court, the judge's opinion, and Edmond Cahn's objective and penetrating discussion of the ethical issues involved. The cases chosen operate as prisms, revealing an entire spectrum of moral forces, personal ambitions, group standards, lusts, sufferings, and ideals. - Back cover.
