The Law and Ethics of Medicine: Essays on the Inviolability of Human Life
Keown, John, DCL (DLC, Rose Kennedy Professor, Kennedy Institute Of Ethics, Georgetown University)
The principle of the sanctity of life is key to the law governing medical practice and professional medical ethics. It is also widely misunderstood. This book clarifies the principle and considers how it influences the law governing abortion; 'test-tube' babies; euthanasia; feeding patients in persistent vegetative states; and palliative treatment.
