Professor Sheila McLean, University of Glasgow, UK '...offers a comprehensive assessment of healthcare law by drawing on material from both the UK and the US...important and thought-provoking reading for healthcare professionals involved in all stages of pregnancy and child birth.' childRIGHT 'This book takes a firm, wide-ranging look at law relating to pregnant women...I find Meredith's analysis and arguments persuasive. This book illuminates the past and will prepare everyone with an interest in pregnancy ethics and law for future conflicts.' Medical Law Review
