(More customer reviews)Roger Dworkin knows his stuff. He's probably one of the greatest sources in the country when it comes to the law and its applications to the field of medicine. He's also really nice. He bought my fellow Tulane Law School refugees (Hurricane Katrina) dinner at the IU Law School and took time out of his busy schedule to review the previous 2 weeks for the subsequent 3 hours.

"An excellent resource for entry-level courses on bioethics forhealth care practitioners, law students, and physicians." --Choice"Dworkin's provocative arguments... will challengereaders who have come to accept the law's intrusion as a necessary response tobiomedical advances." -- New England Journal ofMedicine"Important and refreshing. Dworkin's conclusionsregarding the limited role of law (and especially legislation) may come as asurprise to many.... When popular and political views are almost evenly divided,looking to legislation for a solution is a mistake." -- WalterWadlingtonThe ethical and social dilemmas associated withabortion, sterilization, assisted reproduction, genetics, death and dying, andbiomedical research have led many to turn to the legal system for solutions. RogertDworkin argues that resort to law often overlooks the limitations of legalinstitutions, and he suggests a more limited use of the legal system will producemore effective resolution of bioethical dilemmas.
