La ética biomédica era una ciencia joven cuando se imprimió la primera edición de este libro a finales de 1977. Se han producido grandes cambios desde esa primera edición. Se han añadido secciones nuevas como "método, justificación y verdad", "definir y ponderar principios", "individualismo liberal", "virtudes en los roles profesionales", etc. A pesar de los cambios, el libro mantiene su anterior estructura en capítulos y sus característicos enfoques sobre los temas principales.
