Gary Chan Kok Yew is Professor of Law at Singapore Management University.
Prof Gary Chan's Health Law and Medical Ethics in Singapore not only provides thorough, deft coverage of the major topics in health law and ethics, but uniquely does so with insight and detailed exposition from an Asian and particularly Singaporean perspective. Indeed, topics such as Confucianism and alternative and complementary medicine, not to mention laws such as Singapore's landmark Human Biomedical Research Act, are given comprehensive examination alongside more traditional health law topics such as consent to treatment, confidentiality, reproduction, and medical negligence. This textbook makes for a most welcome addition to the field. Students and academics alike will benefit from its astute analysis and clear composition. Edward S.
