Description
George P. Smith, II is a leading figure in the world of medical law and ethics. During his long career he has addressed some of the most important issues in bioethics and has contributed much original thought to the debates in this field.
This book celebrates his contribution bringing together his key writings in bioethics. The chapters include previously published material, however, the pieces have been substantially updated to include more recent developments and rewritten drawing out the themes and strands which have run through Professor Smiths thinking over the past fifty years. The book covers topics including: human rights and medical law; the allocation of resources and distributive justice; ethical relativism; science and religion; and public health emergencies. In doing so it offers an excellent overview of the current bioethical issues in medical law in light of recent and ongoing technological developments in medicine.
"This collection of essays by one of the worlds leading medical lawyers is academic research of the highest quality. With an enviable clarity of thought and force of argument, Professor Smith tackles some of the major issues facing medicine and law today. It is a tour de force by an academic at the height of his powers." Professor Jonathan Herring, University of Oxford.
