Challenges in Medical Care Edited by Andrew Grubb School of Law and Centre of Medical Law and Ethics, Kings College, London, UK The sixth volume in the series of Kings College Studies takes a reflective view of medical law and ethics, the health care system and challenges raised by modern technology. A distinguished team of authors returns to problems and controversies that have long challenged medical law and ethics, and shows how new issues are constantly arising as a result of developments in medical care. Topics such as the legal status of the frozen human embryo, medical accountability and the future of the National Health Service are discussed. The need for responsibility, accountability and respect for individual human rights forms a strong linking theme throughout the book. This thought-provoking collection constitutes a useful and informative reference source which will be of value to a wide range of professionals and students including doctors, nurses, lawyers, philosophers and medical sociologists.
