Exploring key aspects in the history of law's engagement with
healthcare in England, this book unearths fascinating stories of
the fractious relationship between the two highlighting lessons for
medical law and bioethics that a focus on their history can offer.
The popular view that the courts and legislators have from time
immemorial consistently deferred to medical practitioners is shown
to be wrong. Regulation of healers and the doctor/patient
relationship and law's response to battles for dominance between
different sorts of healers are examined. Healthcare in a broader
sense than simply medical treatment is addressed. Considering
historical perceptions of the human body at all life stages from
the womb to the grave, the work identifies themes running through
the history of how law responds to the problems generated by
understanding of bodies and how science changes popular perceptions
and law. -- .
