  • Rights, Duties and the Bodyby Rosamund Scott

    Hart Publishing Limited 2002; US$ 151.20

    If a pregnant woman refuses medical treatment needed by the fetus - for instance for religious reasons - or conducts some aspect of her life in a way which risks fetal harm, there may arise an instance of 'maternal-fetal conflict'. This is an unfortunate term, since pregant women are generally renowned for their self-sacrificing behaviour, but it may... more...

    Cambridge University Press 2004; US$ 62.00

  • Medical Law and Moral Rightsby Carl Wellman

    Springer 2005; US$ 149.99

    ABC-CLIO 2007; US$ 55.00

    Except for the Oregon Death with Dignity Act, there are no U.S. laws that allow physicians to assist patients in hastening death. Many who support physician-assisted suicide ask, ÒWhy not?Ó After all, the Netherlands permits both euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, and polls suggest that many Americans want that choice available to them. ||Euthanasia:... more...

  • Consent in the Lawby Deryck Beyleveld; Roger Brownsword

    Hart Publishing Limited 2007; US$ 97.20

    In a community that takes rights seriously, consent features pervasively in both moral and legal discourse as a justifying reason: stated simply, where there is consent, there can be no complaint. However, without a clear appreciation of the nature of a consent-based justification, its integrity, both in principle and in practice, is liable to be compromised.... more...
