Recenzje

’This book is a bold and path-breaking analysis of endemic systemic challenges confronting the administration of health law and policy in Nigeria. Moreover, in magisterial essays neatly tied in by the overlapping and interconnected issues, the authors have advanced discussions on contemporary issues such as organ donation, abortion, assisted reproduction and euthanasia. The authors represent the finest in the field from Nigeria and their bravery and erudition in expertly tackling these issues deserve our thanks.’ Ikechi Mgbeoji, Osgoode Hall Law School, Canada 'This valuable, timely and comprehensive text provides Nigerian law with its worthy status in the comparative health law literature, disclosing the foundations on which Nigerian courts have developed their rich, distinctive jurisprudence. Comparisons and contrasts with laws in other English-speaking countries illuminate the interactive development of provisions in different but related legal systems, and options for future growth in each of them.' Bernard M.
