Medical Law and Ethics

by Jonathan Herring

Medical law is one of the fastest moving areas of law; barely a week can go by without a change to the legal provisions, or a new key case passing through the courts. Medical Law and Ethics is the most regularly updated textbook on medical law, so you can be confident that it takes into
account the most recent developments in the law.

With exceptional clarity, Medical Law and Ethics covers not only the core legal principles, the key cases, and statutes that govern medical law. It also portrays the key ethic debates and dilemmas that exist in the field to ensure that the law is firmly embedded in its context.

Carefully constructed features highlight the key debates where relevant to provide an overview of the different perspectives; from feminists, the European perspective, and different religious views. 'A shock to the system', 'public opinion' and 'reality check' features all introduce different
sociological aspects, contributing to the lively and engaging manner with which the subject is approached.

Medical Law and Ethics by Jonathan Herring is remarkable reading and it is my first reading about English law and ethics. It was a page-turner for me. Despite the slow start, finishing this book was a pleasure. It was a surprise to me, that I liked and enjoyed reading it so vastly. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to know about English, Medical Law, and Ethics in real life, facts that are renewed accordingly. Also, if you are a dyslectic you may enjoy it because it is written in an official tone and I found myself thinking it was an easy read. I found it different than when I read it and I can say it is different from literature.

Read for school. Herring is pretty solid.
