"Baker provides a new and extremely engaging historical account of medical ethics in the US, including the 17th-century oaths of fidelity and diligence taken by midwives and the early-19th-century codes of the various medical police through the lens of 'morally disruptive technologies.' These discussions set the stage for a better understanding of the standard 20th-century bioethics origin story and the field itself, which the author includes in this work. Summing up: Recommended." --M. M. Gills, CHOICE
