Mason & McCall Smith's law and medical ethics

7th ed.
  • 2 Want to read

"This classic textbook has provided students of medical law and ethics with a framework for exploring this fascinating subject for over 25 years. Providing coverage of all the medical law courses, it gives an overview of the interrelationship between ethical medical practice and the law. The authors offer their own opinions on current debates and controversies, and encourage you to formulate your own views and arguments. As a developing discipline, medical law is significantly shaped by the courts; this book provides extensive coverage and insight into the recent judicial decisions as well as statutory developments. This edition continues to take a comparative approach, with a specific chapter on the European dimension in health care and the particular importance attached to this shift in influence from transatlantic jurisdictions to those of the EU. As in previous editions, copious use is made of the Acts of the Scottish Parliament and of Scots common law where they are of benefit in a UK context"--Page [4] of cover.
