To date, little analysis exists of the criminal process's roles as
a regulator of medical practice and as an arbiter of bioethics, nor
whether criminal law is an appropriate forum for judging ethical
medical dilemmas. The conscription of criminal law into moral
controversy and the (perceived) rise in criminal investigations of
medical errors sets the backdrop for this innovative historical and
theoretical analysis of the relationship between medicine,
bioethics and the criminal process. Case studies on abortion, end
of life and the separation of conjoined twins reveal how judges
grapple with bioethics in criminal cases and the impact of
'theatre' on the criminal law's response to ethically controversial
medical cases. A central argument is that bioethics and criminal
law are not necessarily incompatible; rather, it is the theatre
surrounding interactions between bioethics and criminal law that
often distorts and creates tension.
