It deals with a set of difficult issues for the law and health professions as they grapple with new technologies, changing legislation, and altering community expectations. Regulatory processes for medicine and all of the health professions are in flux. Civil liability for medical negligence has been fundamentally changed in the aftermath of Australia's "insurance crisis." Tough ethical and legal questions are being asked about property in human tissue and the genetics revolution. Public health law and therapeutic jurisprudence are providing new lenses through which to view health rights and court processes. This book revisits long-term controversies such as abortion from a modern perspective and analyses a range of emerging issues in reproductive law. It provides a vital basis for contemporary debate. |
