Beskrivning

combine to form a cohesive unit, and do they benefit each other? It may be argued that they do not, but rather suffer a symbiotic relationship, clashing rather than cooperating. This book examines this relationship, and how the law sees medical ethics. It then considers whether medical ethics functions in the way that the law thinks that it does. After providing a historical perspective that identifies medical ethics discourse as disjointed and fragmented, the book continues by examining key medico-legal case law and reports that have an inherent ethical content for clues as to how they define medical ethics and its role. It also considers how medical ethics sees the law, concluding that a misapprehension by each party as to what the other does creates a mutually harmful relationship between them.

David Archard Medical Law Review 2008 ...a very interesting and readable book, on a topic which is, in my view, underrepresented in the literature...combines good analysis with factual information about challenging and important cases. Professor Sheila A.M. McLean Medical Law International Vol 8, No.4, 2007 ...a useful survey of current thinking in the field of law and medical ethics in the UK...Read this book as a useful contemporary guide to thinking in English medical law and ethics. Robert Dingwall Law and Politics Book Review Vol. 18 No.2 (February 2008) ...this is a brilliant piece of work and does answer the several questions raised in the introductory chapter.
