This book marks the retirement of Professor Sheila McLean, whose
contribution to the discipline of medical law has been truly ground
breaking. As one of the pioneers of the discipline, Sheila McLean
inspired a revolution in the ways in which lawyers, doctors, courts
and patients perceive the relationship between medicine and the
law. The first International Bar Association Professor of Law and
Ethics in Medicine, she has worked tirelessly to champion the
importance of law's role in regulating medicine and protecting
patients' rights. The span in content of this book reflects the
range of contributions that Professor McLean has herself made. Her
work gave direction and shape to a new field of study at a time
when few questioned the authority of medicine or thought much about
the plight of the patient. This collection brings together 21
leading scholars in healthcare law and ethics to honour the depth
and significance of her contribution. Including authors from the
US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, the contributions cover
areas as diverse as start and end of life, reproductive rights and
termination of pregnancy, autonomy of patients, the protection of
vulnerable patient groups, and the challenges posed by new
technologies.
