Overview

This book provides a clear, concise description of medical law; but it does more than that. It also provides an introduction to the ethical principles that can be used to challenge or support the law. It also provides a range of perspectives from which to analyse the law: feminist, religious and sociological perspectives are all used. This will enable you to understand not only what the law is, but also the complex tensions between viewpoints and moralities which make medical law such an interesting subject to study. Written for LLB and MA students taking medical law courses, this book presents the material in a highly accessible and interesting way and, as this is such a fast moving subject, the book will be supported by an companion web site providing updates.
