Law at the Frontiers of Biomedicine

Rezensionen / Stimmen

I would advise all biomedical lawyers to put this book at the top of their reading list. -- Roger Brownsword, King's College London * Medical Law International * [Pattinson's] faux-judgments are wonderfully plausible, and his analysis well-considered ... He gave me substantial food for thought. -- James E Hurford, Solicitor at the Government Legal Department, London * The Law Society Gazette * An innovative, well researched and challenging analysis of novel issues in bioethics. It is interestingly constructed and engagingly written. It can be recommended to readers of the Journal as a thought-provoking and worthwhile call to analyse new technologies in new ways, while retaining the best of what law reform and judicial analysis have to offer to deal with the ethical challenges that lie ahead in ways that cannot easily be predicted (but will soon arrive) on the interface between law and medicine. -- Ian Freckelton AO KC, University of Melbourne * Journal of Law and Medicine * An enjoyable read, and Pattinson's interdisciplinary approach and the real-world application of his theoretical framework make this book a valuable resource ... Law at the Frontiers of Biomedicine contributes to academic discourse and serves as a guide for policy makers, academic scholars and students grappling with the complexities of regulating rapidly advancing biotechnologies. -- Amel Alghrani, University of Liverpool * New Genetics and Society * A fascinating, engaging and insightful analysis ... The book is to be recommended not just for what it covers, but also how it presents its analysis. It provides lucid explanations of complex points of law and moral theory, advances in biosciences, and contextualised policy arenas; both through 'standard' academic discourse and through critical engagement with imagined processes of legal adjudication. -- John Coggon, University of Bristol * Clinical Ethics *
