Bioethics,
medicine, and the criminal law. Volume I, The criminal law and bioethical
conflict : walking the tightrope / edited by Amel Alghrani, Rebecca
Bennett & Suzanne Ost. Cambridge University Press, 2013. K3611.G46B53
2013 Who
should define what constitutes ethical and lawful medical practice? Judges?
Doctors? Scientists? Or someone else entirely? This volume analyses how
effectively criminal law operates as a forum for resolving ethical conflict
in the delivery of health care. It addresses key questions such as: how does
criminal law regulate controversial bioethical areas? What effect, positive
or negative, does the use of criminal law have when regulating bioethical
conflict? And can the law accommodate moral controversy? By exploring
criminal law in theory and in practice and examining the broad field of
bioethics as opposed to the narrower terrain of medical ethics, it offers
balanced arguments that will help readers form reasoned views on the ethical
legitimacy of the invocation and use of criminal law to regulate medical and
scientific practice and bioethical issues. |

Loving
v. Virginia in a post-racial world : rethinking race, sex, and marriage / edited by
Kevin Noble Maillard & Rose Cuison Villazor. Cambridge University Press,
2012. KF517.L68
2012 In
1967, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that laws prohibiting interracial marriage
were unconstitutional in Loving vs. Virginia. Although this case promotes
marital freedom and racial equality, there are still significant legal and
social barriers to the free formation of intimate relationships. Marriage
continues to be the sole measure of commitment, mixed relationships continue
to be rare, and same-sex marriage is only legal in 6 out of 50 states. Most
discussion of Loving celebrates the symbolic dismantling of marital
discrimination. This book, however, takes a more critical approach to ask how
Loving has influenced the "loving" of America. How far have we come
since then, and what effect did the case have on individual lives? |
