Reviews

The book is a stimulating and elegantly written work, covering a very wide range within a relatively short compass … it will challenge practising lawyers who have any involvement in these areas, and will hopefully also make its way before the Health and Social Care Select Committee of the Westminster Parliament as it grapples at the moment with its inquiry into assisted dying / assisted suicide. -- Alex Ruck Keene * Mental Capacity Law and Policy Blog *
