      abstract = {"Issues of life and death such as abortion, assisted  suicide, capital punishment, and others are among the most  contentious in many societies. Whose rights are protected?  How do these rights and protections change over time and  who makes those decisions? Based on the author's  award-winning and hugely popular undergraduate course at  The University of Texas, this book explores these questions  and the fundamentally sociological processes that underlie  the quest for morality and justice in human societies. The  author's goal is not to advocate any particular moral "high  ground," but to shed light on the social movements and  social processes that are at the root of these seemingly  personal moral questions"--Provided by publisher.},
