Summary Although the central test case of Responsibility, Complexity, and Abortion: Toward a New Image of Ethical Thought is the highly polarizing topic of abortion, the concepts and method developed could be applied to other intractable issues: euthanasia, safe injection sites, and capital punishment for instance. Learning a new way to think and talk about difficult ethical is certainly of value to moral and political philosophers but to anyone who strives for a more nuanced perspective on complex situations
