This Research Handbook examines the many ways in which health engages human rights law. It also explores current debates which challenge traditional perspectives of rights and identifies potential new directions in which human rights law might venture, including the legal status of medical devices, a human right to medicines and conscientious objections to assisted dying.Elizabeth Wicks and Nataly Papadopoulou bring together renowned experts who pose important questions about the limits of human rights, and the law more broadly, as new threats and opportunities related to health emerge. The Research Handbook adopts a forward-looking perspective in which contributing authors challenge the status quo and seek to identify key future challenges for which new directions of human rights law can play a crucial, positive role in the betterment of health and health care provision. Chapters examine contemporary issues of concern such as health rights for migrants, assisted dying, surrogacy and abortion, access to health care for older persons and the need to protect landscapes for health.This Research Handbook is a vital tool for students and scholars of human rights law and health law. Its forward-thinking approach to both the role of human rights and the conceptualisation of health will also greatly benefit practising lawyers and legal policymakers seeking to reform the field.
