This series of studies on law, ethics and medicine contributes to the debate on when and how it is permissable to terminate life, to warn of death, and to deal with tragedy in its aftermath. The essays are wide-ranging, provocative and timely.

This unique collection focuses on the legal and ethical issues surrounding the medico-legal management of death. Each chapter throws up new and unusual problems in this area, highlighting the tension between personal autonomy and medical responsibility. The book thus charts a way through the moral minefield.
