  Applied Ethics: A Non-Consequentialist Approach by David S. Oderberg [ISBN: 0631219048] - Find Cheap Textbook Prices & ...
Oderberg addresses everything from Michael Tooley's arguments about gradual and continuous change, to twinning and totipotency, to cloning machines, to Judith Jarvis Thompson's arguments in her famous 1971 article about the violinist with a kidney disorder.
First of all, Oderberg does a good job of presenting the feebleness and irrelevance of most of the popular arguments for the permissibility of abortion and euthanasia, as well as the radical principles which lie behind those arguments which one finds openly expressed by such fringe figures as Peter Singer and Michael Tooley.
With regard to euthanasia and capital punishment, Oderberg does a good job of exposing the hypocrisy underlying the "brain-death" criterion and the baselessness of the "consistent life ethic" which fails to draw the obvious distinction between guilty and innocent lives.

 E.P. Brandon: Sustaining a right to be in error
Oderberg also concedes that on occasion one may have a right not to know the truth, but he distinguishes that from a right to believe the false.
Oderberg discusses the issue in terms of "freedom of belief" where he wants to argue that, strictly speaking, belief is never free.
Oderberg's talk of rights here is potentially misleading since talk of rights often carries with it a suggestion that others have a duty of some sort to facilitate the exercise of any such right.

 From the Tristram Shandy Paradox to the Christmas Shandy Paradox
Oderberg (2002a:307) writes that ‘an actual infinity …has to be given all at once or not at all, and by “all at once” it is meant “simultaneously”’.
Oderberg (2002b:356) suggests that he would be happy to retreat from the suggestion that Russell was being ‘canny’ in not making the explicit equivalence claim ‘whilst giving the impression to the incautious reader that he is making just such an equation’ to the position that Russell is either ‘careless or confused’.
Oderberg argues that, on independent grounds, this story is mathematically inconsistent, whereas I have argued that it is not.

 Eunomia: Considering Oderberg
Oderberg for the spirit of just war theory, which is charity, and a subtle desire to find the exceptions to the prohibition against killing other people so that good Christians can support shedding blood just like everyone else.
Oderberg's examples is that Suarez also taught that it was legitimate to go to war against heretics to rid them of their heresy, and few if any Catholics today are going to defend that proposition (even if, technically speaking, they should).
Oderberg cites as an evil justifying intervention is precisely the product of the actual war waged in Iraq.

 Amazon.com: Moral Theory: A Non-Consequentialist Approach: Books: David S. Oderberg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Although Oderberg defends these teachings, he does so solely by reference to rational arguments intended to persuade all fair-minded persons, not by appeal to authority or religious dogma.
Oderberg is at his best when he presents and defends the Principle of Double Effect and the acts/omissions doctrine as alternatives to consequentialist calculation in situations involving moral dilemmas and is well worth reading on these points.
In his discussion of the vexing idea that the moral quality of an act is determined by its "object", Oderberg seems to endorse the 17th century Jesuit view that the object of an act is determined by subjective intention.

 Right Reason: Oderberg on scientific fraud
As Oderberg points out with the pesticide research, one can only assume that privately funded research would be far more corrupt that publicly funded research.
It seems to me that some of the comments people have been making here fail seriously to grapple with these questions (and also uncharitably fail to keep in mind that Oderberg's piece is an op-ed in a general audience newspaper, not a technical philosophical article in an academic journal).
Oderberg seems to have missed the fact that the U.S. has laws which make such fraud a crime, when done on federal money.

(Scroll down for the relevant links.)

 The Daily Princetonian - Speaker blasts Singer for 'irrational and illogical' beliefs
Philosophy professor Peter Singer's ethical system is "irrational and illogical" and inevitably leads to infanticide, University of Reading philosophy professor David Oderberg argued in a lecture last night, linking Singer's views to those of the Nazis.
Oderberg quoted extensively from Singer's landmark book "Practical Ethics," and then accused Singer of not always abiding by his moral code.
In the original version of this story, Professor Oderberg was quoted as saying that under Professor Peter Singer's philosophy, if disabled infants were consulted about their right to live, "they might make a fuss." In fact, Oderberg was referring to anyone whose life would be jeopardized by utilitarian considerations, not just infants.
