title: [Ethics and life: bioethics studies].
abstract: A year ago, in June 1998, Diego Gracia published four volumes under the general title of Bioethics and Life: Studies of Bioethics. These volumes are the continuation of two other books published by the same author during the last years: Foundations of Bioethics (1989) and Decision procedures in clinical ethics (1991). The present article is a short presentation of the four volumes written by the author, followed by the transcription of the foreword of the book. Due to the fact that this book is one of the most important contributions made to bioethics in the Spanish speaking world, it will have a very wide influence not only in Spain but also in Latin America.
