Description

"The relationship between law and bioethics and the influence of both on medical research and clinical practice is a topic that is often mentioned but rarely subjected to sustained critical analysis. This book considers a number of issues in medicine in which the influence of the law has been most profound and positive, including informed consent, advance directives, constitutional liberties and privacy, standards for pain management and end-of-life care"--Back cover.

First Sentence
