Book excerpt: Medical ethics in Imperial Germany were entangled with professional, legal and social issues.

Download or read book Inspiring a Medico Legal Revolution written by Pamela R. Ferguson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book marks the retirement of Professor Sheila McLean, whose contribution to the discipline of medical law has been truly ground breaking. As one of the pioneers of the discipline, Sheila McLean inspired a revolution in the ways in which lawyers, doctors, courts and patients perceive the relationship between medicine and the law. The first International Bar Association Professor of Law and Ethics in Medicine, she has worked tirelessly to champion the importance of law’s role in regulating medicine and protecting patients’ rights. The span in content of this book reflects the range of contributions that Professor McLean has herself made. Her work gave direction and shape to a new field of study at a time when few questioned the authority of medicine or thought much about the plight of the patient. This collection brings together 21 leading scholars in healthcare law and ethics to honour the depth and significance of her contribution. Including authors from the US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, the contributions cover areas as diverse as start and end of life, reproductive rights and termination of pregnancy, autonomy of patients, the protection of vulnerable patient groups, and the challenges posed by new technologies.
Download or read book Law Ethics and Medicine written by Peter D. G. Skegg and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described as one of the two fathers of medical law , Professor Peter Skegg has been a leading figure in the study of law and medicine. Over a 46 year academic career at the University of Auckland, University of Oxford, and the University of Otago, Professor Skegg has helped develop the field of medical law into a burgeoning academic discipline and has provided intellectual guardianship for the practice of law and medicine. This collection brings together contemporaries, colleagues, and former students of Professor Skegg to celebrate his enduring contribution to the study of medical law. This edited collection contains twelve essays written by a range of internationally recognised medical lawyers. The topics cover the regulation of medical practitioners, consent, rights in bodily material, euthanasia, compensation and ethical approval for medical research, treatment orders for mental health conditions, and surrogacy laws. Whilst some of the essays return to territory that has been initially surveyed by Peter s research and analysis, others touch upon some wider medical law topics, illustrating Peter s lasting contribution to medical law as well as mapping out some of the new frontiers for the discipline of medical law. Academics, students and practitioners, from a range of jurisdictions, who are interested in how the law governs the provision of healthcare will benefit reading the various essays contained here. In addition, anyone who has had the good fortune of working with, or learning from, Professor Skegg will also enjoy the opportunity to return to the field of study that he founded.

Book excerpt: With advances in personalised medicine, the field of medical law is being challenged and transformed.

It brings together leading philosophers, legal theorists, and medical specialists to discuss these questions in two parts. The first part deals with key foundational theories, and the second addresses a variety of topical issues, including euthanasia, abortion, and medical privacy. The wide range of perspectives and topics on offer provide a vital introduction to the philosophical underpinnings of medical law.

Download or read book The Law in Its Relations to Physicians written by Arthur N. Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law in Its Relations to Physicians Upon casually looking over the pages of a current legal journal the author's attention was caught by the report of a recent case in which a physician, not understanding his rights in a certain matter, had violated well-established legal principles and was held by the jury to respond in substantial damages. The ideas suggested to the mind of the author by this case were, first, the necessity that the physician be informed regarding his legal rights and liabilities, and, second, the inaccessibility to him of such information - which ideas in turn suggested the plan worked out in the following pages. That portion of the field occupied in common by the legal and medical professions known as medical jurisprudence has received the attention of many able writers of both professions, with the result that nearly every question of law requiring elucidation as to its medical aspect has been worked out and is accessible to the lawyer.

Download or read book Citizens Into Dishonored Felons written by Timon de Groot and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2023-04-14 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of its history, the German Empire increasingly withheld basic rights—such as joining the army, holding public office, and even voting—as a form of legal punishment. Dishonored offenders were often stigmatized in both formal and informal ways, as their convictions shaped how they were treated in prisons, their position in the labour market, and their access to rehabilitative resources. With a focus on Imperial Germany’s criminal policies and their afterlives in the Weimar era, Citizens into Dishonored Felons demonstrates how criminal punishment was never solely a disciplinary measure, but that it reflected a national moral compass that authorities used to dictate the rights to citizenship, honour and trust.
