Looking at the issue of harm in relation to wrongful birth, life and pregnancy claims, this book investigates the issues of harm and the relationship between distributive justice and corrective justice, exploring the implications for tort theory generally.

This book looks at the issue of harm in relation to wrongful birth, wrongful life and wrongful pregnancy claims. While addressing the issue of whether English Law is coherent and consistent in these cases, Alasdair Maclean also draws comparisons with other jurisdictions looking at the different legal approaches of the US, Australia, France and Holland. The book then goes on to investigate the issues of harm and the relationship between distributive justice and corrective justice, exploring the implications for tort theory more generally.

Alasdair Maclean is a senior lecturer in law, and deputy director of the LL.M in Healthcare Law and Ethics at Dundee University, UK.
