内容説明・目次
内容説明
This incisive selection of government reports, scholarly articles and court cases is designed to illuminate the ethical, legal and political issues in the theory and practice of public health. A companion to "Public Health Law: Power, Duty, Restraint", this collection encourages debate and discourse about how courts, scholars and policy makers respond to the salient legal and ethical dilemmas. The excerpts and commentaries in the reader analyze the legal and constitutional foundations of public health, juxtaposing them with the emerging importance of public health ethics and human rights. The book offers a systematic account of public health law, ethics and human rights in promoting the common good. Lawrence Gostin provides a commentary on the field of public health and carefully explains the meaning and importance of each selection. Scholars, legislators and public health professionals, as well as faculty and students in schools of law, public health, medicine, nursing, government and health administration, should benefit from the contemporary case studies covering a wide range of topics from bioterrorism to public health genetics.
