This book on Medical Law and Ethics covers all the important issues in an accessible format. All the topics that are most frequently taught on undergraduate modules are covered. The book is split into two halves; the law covers medical negligence, consent, mental health and confi dentiality before moving onto the ethical aspects. After an introduction to the main ethical theories, the issues dealt with progress from assisted conception to abortion, organ donation and end of life issues. The book covers many topical issues in as much depth as is permitted for its size and includes the recent case of R (on the application of Tony Nicklinson) v Ministry of Justice and others (2012).
