by Bethany Spielman (Author)
This groundbreaking volume is the first to analyze how and to what extent bioethics considerations influence today's judges. Previous books have attended to the law that governs bioethics problems, but this is the first to examine when and how bioethical issues impact judicial reasoning and decision-making. The volume examines the cutting-edge of the relationship of bioethics to law, and explores how law receives, assesses, and uses bioethics.

From the reviews:
Bioethics in Law helpfully collects judicial, opinions considering bioethics material, testimony, and briefs to explore the ways in which bioethics is entering U.S. courtrooms. ... Spielman aims this book first at lawyers and bioethics but writes accessibly for a broader audience. The book will advance the conversation on the relationship between law and bioethics. ... Bioethics in Law offers a treasure trove of information that cannot readily be found elsewhere shedding light on the complex interaction between bioethics and law. (Susan M. Wolf, New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 46 (32), 2007)
Bioethics in Law offers a treasure trove of information that cannot readily be found elsewhere, shedding light on the complex interaction between bioethics and law. Spielman's pathbreaking research and thoughtful organization of the issues provide an important resource for those concerned about the confusion over the roles of bioethics and law. -The New England Journal of Medicine
