Is it lawful for a doctor to give a patient life-shortening pain
relief? Can treatment be lawfully provided to a child under 16 on
the basis of her consent alone? Is it lawful to remove food and
water provided by tube to a patient in a vegetative state? Is a
woman's refusal of a caesarean section recommended for the benefit
of the fetus legally decisive? These questions were central to the
four focal cases revisited in this book. This book revisits nine
landmark cases. For each, a new leading judgment is attributed to
an imagined judge, Athena, who operates within the constraints of
the legal system of England and Wales. Her judgments accord with an
innovative legal theory, referred to as 'modified law as
integrity', and are linked as a line of precedent. The result is a
re-spinning of extant judicial threads into a web of legal
principles with a greater claim to coherence and defensibility than
those in the original cases. The book will be of great interest to
scholars and students of medical law, criminal law, bioethics,
legal theory and moral philosophy.
