An analysis and evaluation of major medical, legal, and ethical issues that confront society today.
Bioethical and Evolutionary Approaches to Medicine and the Law is a comprehensive, scholarly analysis of bioethics and the development of its standards. This book provides an explanatory forum of ideas and innovative solutions covering the major medical, legal, and ethical issues that we face in the 21st Century. Beginning with a history of how these ethical dilemmas originated and progressed, the author provides you with facts, analysis and case law that will help you understand these issues and further identify how we can face them.
The book is divided into four areas:
Part I deals with scientific, religious, ethical and legal aspects of bioethics.
Part II evaluates current bioethical issues and sets forth specific approaches for their resolution, including ethics of family planning; infertility, impotence, and cloning; choice of abortion; organ transplants; and more.
Part III focuses on medical, legal and end of life issues, such as physician assisted suicide; advance directives; euthanasia; and more.
Part IV discusses the major bioethical issues in genetics and genetic engineering.
Bioethics is a multidisciplinary field of law and one that can not be ignored. Bioethical and Evolutionary Approaches to Medicine and the Law provides you with timely analysis to help you understand current ethical issues in legal medicine, health law and policy, professional liability, hospital law, food and drug law, medical legal research and more.
