Mason and Mccall Smith's Law and Medical Ethics
This classic textbook focuses on medical law and its relationship with medical practice and modern ethics. It provides thorough coverage of all of the topics found on medical law courses, and in depth analysis of recent court decisions, encouraging students to think analytically about the subject.
Genetic Privacy
The phenomenon of the New Genetics raises complex social problems, particularly those of privacy. This book offers ethical and legal perspectives on the questions of a right to know and not to know genetic information from the standpoint of individuals, their relatives, employers, insurers and the state. Graeme Laurie provides a unique definition of privacy, including a concept of property rights in the person, and argues for stronger legal protection of privacy in the shadow of developments in human genetics. He challenges the role and the limits of established principles in medical law and ethics, including respect for patient autonomy and confidentiality.
Mason and McCall Smith's Law and Medical Ethics
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 of the topics found on medical law courses, it gives an overview of the inter-relationship between ethical medical practice and the law.

Inspiring a Medico-Legal Revolution
This book marks the retirement of Professor Sheila McLean, whose contribution to the discipline of medical law has been truly ground breaking. As one of the pioneers of the discipline, Sheila McLean inspired a revolution in the ways in which lawyers, doctors, courts and patients perceive the relationship between medicine and the law. The first International Bar Association Professor of Law and Ethics in Medicine, she has worked tirelessly to champion the importance of law’s role in regulating medicine and protecting patients’ rights. The span in content of this book reflects the range of contributions that Professor McLean has herself made. Her work gave direction and shape to a new fiel...
Medicine Law and the Public Interest
The underlying rationale of medical law has undergone radical shifts in the brief lifespan of the discipline. Historically, the law as it related to the practice of medicine has been a muted affair. Judges, and therefore the law, have tended to defer to the medical profession and much of the substance of the law has supported medical paternalism. A revolution has occured more recently, however, with the rise in importance of the principle of respect for patient autonomy. This has concentrated the focus of the law on the need for a patient's informed consent across a range of circumstances including treatment, research, and all decisions relating to health and health care. Paternalism now rec...

Law and Medical Ethics
This new edition of Law and Medical Ethics continues to chart the ever-widening field that the topics cover. The interplay between the health caring professions and the public during the period intervening since the last edition has, perhaps, been mainly dominated by wide-ranging changes in the administration of the National Health Service and of the professions themselves but these have been paralleled by important developments in medical jurisprudence.
