Understanding Medical Law (Paperback, New)

This books gives the reader a flavour of the main issues arising in medical law from the problems of consent to treatment, to whether euthanasia should be legalised. Both the courts and Parliament continue to be kept busy with medical law issues. The Bristol Hospital Enquiry has led to the creation of the Retained Organs Commission. The Human Rights Act 1998 continues to have an impact on patients' rights. The struggles of individuals like Diane Blood (who had children using her dead husband's sperm) and Dianne Pretty (who died of motor neurones disease) and others have had important affects in medical law. This book should be useful for undergraduate students studying medical law and medical students who need an overview of the subject. It may also be helpful for those who work in the field of medicine including NHS staff and for students following courses at the newly created NHS University.
