The COVID-19 pandemic has had an enduring effect across the entire
spectrum of law and policy, in areas ranging from health equity and
racial justice, to constitutional law, the law of prisons, federal
benefit programs, election law and much more. This collection
provides a critical reflection on what changes the pandemic has
already introduced, and what its legacy may be. Chapters evaluate
how healthcare and government institutions have succeeded and
failed during this global 'stress test,' and explore how the US and
the world will move forward to ensure we are better prepared for
future pandemics. This timely volume identifies the right questions
to ask as we take stock of pandemic realities and provides guidance
for the many stakeholders of COVID-19's legal legacy. This book is
also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Historically and across societies people with disabilities have
been stigmatized and excluded from social opportunities on a
variety of culturally specific grounds. In this collection, the
authors explore the impact that the philosophical framing of
disability can have on public policy questions, in the clinic, in
the courtroom, and elsewhere. They examine the implications of this
understanding for legal and policy approaches to disability,
strategies for allocating and accessing health care, the
implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, health care
rights, and other legal tools designed to address discrimination.
This volume should be read by anyone seeking a balanced view of
disability and an understanding of the connection between the
framing of disability and policies that have a real-world impact on
individuals.

Regulators have been more permissive for medical devices compared
to their drug and biologic counterparts. While innovative products
can thereby reach consumers more quickly, this approach raises
serious public health and safety concerns. Additionally, the nature
of medical devices is rapidly changing, as software has become as
important as hardware. Regulation must keep pace with the current
developments and controversies of this technology. This volume
provides a multidisciplinary evaluation of the ethical, legal, and
regulatory concerns surrounding medical devices in the US and EU.
For medical providers, policymakers, and other stakeholders, the
book offers a framework for the opportunities and challenges on the
horizon for medical device regulation. Readers will gain a nuanced
overview of the latest developments in patient privacy and safety,
innovation, and new regulatory laws. This book is also available as
Open Access on Cambridge Core.

For the average person, genetic testing has two very different
faces. The rise of genetic testing is often promoted as the
democratization of genetics by enabling individuals to gain
insights into their unique makeup. At the same time, many have
raised concerns that genetic testing and sequencing reveal
intensely personal and private information. As these technologies
become increasingly available as consumer products, the ethical,
legal, and regulatory challenges presented by genomics are ever
looming. Assembling multidisciplinary experts, this volume
evaluates the different models used to deliver consumer genetics
and considers a number of key questions: How should we mediate
privacy and other ethical concerns around genetic databases? Does
aggregating data from genetic testing turn people into products by
commercializing their data? How might this data reduce or
exacerbate existing healthcare disparities? Contributing authors
also provide guidance on protecting consumer privacy and safety
while promoting innovation.
