内容説明
This collection of articles regarding medical law and ethics brings together a cross-section of the author's work. Kennedy was a former Reith Lecturer and broadcaster. Many of the articles have previously appeared in journals, but all are updated. Some are published here for the first time. This book may be of interest to lawyers with medico-legal concerns, doctors, students and a more general readership following the developments in this scientifically complex and morally contentious area.
