Embryo research, cloning, assisted conception, neonatal care,
pandemic vaccine development, saviour siblings, organ transplants,
drug trials - modern developments have transformed the field of
medicine almost beyond recognition in recent decades and the law
struggles to keep up. In this highly acclaimed and very accessible
book Margaret Brazier, Emma Cave and Rob Heywood provide an
incisive survey of the legal situation in areas as diverse as
fertility treatment, patient consent, assisted dying, malpractice
and medical privacy. The seventh edition of this book has been
fully revised and updated to cover the latest cases, Brexit-related
regulatory reform and COVID-19 pandemic measures. Essential reading
for healthcare professionals, lecturers, medical and law students,
this book is of relevance to all whose perusal of the daily news
causes wonder, hope and consternation at the advances and
limitations of medicine, patients and the law. -- .
This book considers the appropriate response of the criminal law
with regard to women whose acts or omissions in pregnancy cause the
death or injury of the child born alive. It compares recent
developments in English law in the light of the Human Rights Act
1998, with those in America, which has seen an enormous growth in
litigation over the last two decades. In England and Wales, the
'born alive rule' is currently applied only to third parties who
injure the fetus, which is later born alive and dies as a result of
these injuries. In some American states, a rule of similar origins
has been extended so as to criminalize recent mothers whose acts or
omissions in pregnancy caused injury or death to the resulting
child. The author examines the implications of the laws in both
systems, and also looks at the rights of the mother and child in
relation to the obligations of the state to protect both of them.

mental capacity. Essential reading for healthcare professionals,
