  As advances in medical science accelerate and patients' expectations rise, medical law is developing rapidly and the number of lawyers who practice in this area is expanding. Intense controversy has been generated by the ethical dilemmas and legal complexities involved in embryo research, euthanasia, in vitro fertilization, surrogacy and confidentiality. The Medical Protection Society has commissioned a group of medical lawyers to analyze and review the developments in medical law throughout the world's common law jurisdictions.
