Similarly, anyone with an interest in medical law will find the topics here stirring. I use the word 'stirring' consciously - as this is what the book aims to do and does it well.' Ewa Posner, Medical Law Review Author InformationFrançoise Baylis is an internationally renowned bioethics expert whose innovative work, at the intersection of policy and practice, has stretched the very boundaries of the field. Her ethics research focuses primarily on women's reproductive health and genetic technologies. Baylis believes bioethicists need to exercise their moral imagination and find creative ways to make the powerful care. She is a member of the Order of Canada and the Order of Nova Scotia and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences. In 2017, she was awarded the Canadian Bioethics Society Lifetime Achievement Award. Alice Dreger is an historian of science, medicine, and sexuality, a patient advocate, mainstream writer, and public intellectual. Her most recent book, Galileo's Middle Finger, funded by a Guggenheim Fellowship, has won praise in the New Yorker, New York Times, Nature, Science, and beyond. An award-winning writer, Dreger has published in many major venues including WIRED, Slate, the Guardian, the Wall Street Journal, New Statesman, the Atlantic, and the New York Times, and her TED talk, 'Is Anatomy Destiny?' has been viewed over a million times. The Chronicle of Higher Education has called Dreger a 'star scholar'. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
