Opis

Controversial and amusing, this collection of Kennedy's writings illuminates the rights, duties, and liabilities of doctors as well as other aspects of medical law and ethics.

Recenzje

`Written in the first person, the essays have an integrity and honesty lacking in much academic writing. Kennedy's conversational style is engaging and solicitous. For instance, when he writes of Sidaway he is a perceptive and informed narrator explaining concisely and lucidly the issues involved ... his asides enliven and enrich the discussion. Occasionally, there is gracefulness and compassion ... he skilfully and rigorously employs the primary tools of the common law; precedent and analogous reasoning ... These new essays show Kennedy continuing to stimulate and inform after almost twenty years of sustained publication. With the other fifteen essays, the paperback charts an original and prodigious output. That courts and bioethicists still wrestle with the dilemmas and issues addressed by Kennedy renders this book an invaluable respository of analysis in the field of medical law and ethics.'
