Whenever the legitimacy of a new or ethically contentious medical
intervention is considered, a range of influences will determine
whether the treatment becomes accepted as lawful medical treatment.
The development and introduction of abortion, organ donation,
gender reassignment, and non-therapeutic cosmetic surgery have, for
example, all raised ethical, legal, and clinical issues. This book
examines the various factors that legitimatise a medical procedure.
Bringing together a range of internationally and nationally
recognised academics from law, philosophy, medicine, health,
economics, and sociology, the book explores the notion of a
treatment, practice, or procedure being proper medical treatment,
and considers the range of diverse factors which might influence
the acceptance of a particular procedure as appropriate in the
medical context. Contributors address such issues as clinical
judgement and professional autonomy, the role of public interest,
and the influence of resource allocation in decision-making.
