Suitable for practitioners and students of both law and medicine, as well as the general reader, this title examines the regulation of medical practice, the rights and duties of patients and their medical advisers, the provision of compensation for medical mishaps and more.

This book considers the appropriate response of the criminal law with regard to women whose acts or omissions in pregnancy cause the death or injury of the child born alive. It compares recent developments in English law in the light of the Human Rights Act 1998, with those in America, which has seen an enormous growth in litigation over the last two decades.
