The article begins with the interaction between scientific knowledge, environmentalism and society, demonstrating how, at the beginning of the environmental movement, the scientific arguments of ecological science served as ethical justification for reporting the causes of environmental degradation. Subsequently, the environmental sciences encompassed the knowledge of human, social, political and economic ecology in which the central question is not the pure denunciation, but the proposals of solutions to the environmental crisis. The environmental knowledge of human and social sciences lead to greater ethical implications because they underlie moral positions. Thus, a question arises: what is a suitable model of ethics for the environmental sciences? There are three models: weak anthropocentrism, mitigated biocentrism, and global biocentrism or ecocentrism. The last seems more consistent with ecology, because it puts the ethical emphasis on the preservation of interdependent sets of living beings. Bearing in mind the environmental science and the resulting model of ethics, what are the objectives of the teaching of ethics in the context of environmental science? Such teaching needs to include emotional and cognitive oriented goals because they are related both to the learning of skills to analyse different situations and to the awakening of ethical sensitivity to critically reflect upon them.

Every parent hopes for a healthy, "normal" baby, but not all babies fall into that category. On a daily basis, genetic counselors help clients, at whatever stage of intended or actual pregnancy, navigate both the purely clincial manifestations of a complicated birth and the short and long term emotional impact. This manual helps students learn how to guide clients through this complex and difficult process. Designed to help students learn these basic counseling skills, FACILITATING THE GENETIC COUNSELING PROCESS takes a "how to" approach to these complex and emotionally charged client interactions.

bioethics is under siege. From the left and the right, from within and without, questions are being raised about its conduct, its nature, its raison d'être. One of the founders of its professional society, the American Society of bioethics and Humanities, resigned last year to protest the organization's failure to develop formal mechanisms for protecting the professional autonomy of members and standards of professional conduct—accreditation and competency standards, a code of professional ethics, and the like. Critics from without point to the same lack of standards, observing that bioethicists serve as ethics consultants to the very parties who sign their paychecks and pay their consultation fees. In the absence of any professional standards of accountability or responsibility, critics allege, these financial arrangements suggest that a field that originally envisioned itself as a watchdog, protecting patients, research subjects, and the public against the powerful and the privileged, has become the paid poodle, the lap dog, of the very powers it set out to *** the critics' challenge requires, among other things, some reflection on the history of bioethics. Unfortunately, though, the field has been so fixated on present and future problems in biomedicine that it has tended to neglect its own past. Only four monographs on its history have been published. David Rothman'sStrangers at the Bedside(Basic Books, 1992) and Albert Jonsen'sThe Birth of bioethics(Oxford, 1998) offer a "watchdog" narrative, portraying a field conceived as a constraint on a technologically driven biomedical and research establishment run by a professional elite unresponsive to concerns of patients and the public. Two accounts by sociologists offer "lap dog" narratives. M.L. Tina Stevens argues that "the growth in bioethics does not represent a genuine shift in who rules medicine. It represents [biomedicine's] endeavor to limit potential threats to its ultimate control" (bioethics
