A recent and relatively inexpensive paperback that discusses bioethics and various related science is Bioethics and the New Embryology: Springboards for Debate by Scott Gilbert. It's illustrated well and can be a principal discussion text or an ancillary reading.
For more depth of content take a look at Principles of Biomedical Ethics by Tom L. Beauchamp. Newer editions will refer to more recent cases in the news, but basic issues persist across editions.
Another casebook with related material is Cases in Medical Ethics by Gregory Pence. Again, choose the more recent of its editions.
Beyond these three for a course or autodidactic study, reading in the history of philosophy from the ancients to Kant, Bentham, Mill, and Rawls, just to name a few easily-linkable ones, is recommended if one has the time, inclination, or captive students to satisfy.
