These essays explore the nature and limits of individual autonomy
in law, policy and the work of regulatory agencies. Authors ask
searching questions about the nature and scope of the regulation of
'private' lives, from intimacies, personal relationships and
domestic lives to reproduction. They question the extent to which
the law does, or should, protect individual autonomy. Recent rapid
advances in the development of new technologies - particularly
those concerned with human genetics and assisted reproduction -
have generated new questions (practical, social, legal and ethical)
about how far the state should intervene in individual decision
making. Is there an inevitable tension between individual liberty
and the common good? How might a workable balance between the
public and the private be struck? How, indeed, should we think
about 'autonomy'? The essays explore the arguments used to create
and maintain the boundaries of autonomy - for example, the
protection of the vulnerable, public goods of various kinds, and
the maintenance of tradition and respect for cultural practices.
Contributors address how those boundaries should be drawn and
interventions justified. How are contemporary ethical debates about
autonomy constructed, and what principles do they embody? What
happens when those principles become manifest in law?
