Overview
Meredith analyzes healthcare law as it has been applied to the unique situation of pregnancy in the U.S. and Great Britain. Specifically, she examines recent legal cases resulting from conflicts between pregnant women and their medical advisers regarding appropriate intervention or behavior during pregnancy. She also outlines some competing ethical viewpoints about fetal rights and maternal duty and identifies emerging issues in this area. Meredith was recently awarded an M.Phil. in Law and Medical Ethics at the U. of Glasgow. Annotation © 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
