Medical law is now a distinct and important legal subject. The
rights and duties of the medical profession and the increasing
human rights demands of patients ensures medical law continues to
be one of the most dynamic and challenging subjects for study and
debate. Since the publication of the first edition of this book,
medical law has had to confront a series of cases concerning one of
the most intractable issues of our time, the termination of
patients' lives in distressing conditions. Since the momentous
House of Lords' decision in the case of Anthony Bland, a victim of
the Hillsborough Stadium disaster, the medical law courts have had
to react to changes in medical technology which can increase a
patient's life-span whilst inspiring strong ethical dilemmas.
Medical research has recently pioneered the technology to clone the
human species as well as transplant organs from animals to humans.
These are just a sample of current matters considered in the second
edition of Textbook on Medical Law, which remains both a
description and an evaluation of the law as it stands and is an aid
to understanding the core principles which guide the future
development of that law.
