Trade Review
'It is difficult to imagine an ethicist who would not find a keen interest in one, or more likely most, of the chapters in this book. Similarly, anyone with an interest in medical law will find the topics here stirring. I use the word 'stirring' consciously - as this is what the book aims to do and does it well.' Ewa Posner, Medical Law Review
