Offers a wide-ranging survey of early medical ethics, primarily in the English-speaking world. The period covered is the "long 18th century", culminating in the formal ethics of John Gregory and Thomas Percival. The relationship between ethical dilemmas of actual practice and the formulations of philosophically-minded physicians is closely examined, and the historical and philosophical roots of late Enlightenment medical-ethical theories are also explored. A second volume is planned, to examine developments in the 19th century.

Can medical ethics be legislated? Can a complex bioethical question be definitively answered through legislation? In July 1987 the New York State legislature experimented with legislating medical ethics by amending the state's public health law to regulate "Do Not Resuscitate" orders. The consequent law was complex and remains controversial. This volume reviews both the background bioethical debates and the elements of the public policy-making process that are essential to understanding New York's experience with the DNR law. It features debates between leading exponents and critics of the law; case studies that examine the impact of New York's DNR law on clinicians, hospitals and patients; and a review of all empirical studies of the law by their lead authors. Appended to the volume is the New York State DNR law and a comprehensive set of background documents.

The Codification of Medical Morality, the second volume in a two-volume survey of pre-twentieth century modern medical ethics, presents fresh historical research and philosophical analyses of the evolution of medical ethics in nineteenth century America and the development of a different, but parallel, tradition of medical jurisprudence in nineteenth century Britain. These original papers are supplemented by reprints of: the first American Code of medical ethics, the Boston Medical Police of 1808; and an unabridged version of the American Medical Association's 1847 Code of Ethics; and the second (1886) edition of Jukes Styrap's Code of Ethics - a Code which, although officially rejected by the British Medical Association, nonetheless defined the 'done thing' for British practitioners in the last decades of the nineteenth century.
