Towards a Rhetoric of Medical Law (Paperback)

Challenging the dominant account of medical law as normatively and
conceptually subordinate to medical or bioethics, this book
provides an innovative account of medical law as a rhetorical
practice. The aspiration to provide a firm grounding for medical
law in ethical principle has not yet been realized. Rather, legal
doctrine is marked, if anything, by increasingly evident
contradiction and indeterminacy that are symptomatic of the
inherently contingent nature of legal argumentation. Against the
idea of a timeless, placeless ethics as the master discipline for
medical law, this book demonstrates how judicial and academic
reasoning seek to manage this contingency, through the deployment
of rhetorical strategies, persuasive to concrete audiences within
specific historical, cultural and political contexts. Informed by
social and legal theory, cultural history and literary criticism,
John Harrington's careful reading of key judicial decisions,
legislative proposals and academic interventions offers an
original, and significant, understanding of medical law.
