This book provides up-to-date coverage of medical law in Scotland, from negligence and consent to confidentiality and organ transplantation, and through the human life cycle from reproduction to euthanasia and assisted suicide, including regulation of the medical profession. It makes comprehensive reference to the relevant legislation and case law, paying attention to where and how the law differs from that in England and Wales, and to where and how it is likely to change in the near future. It takes into account the considerable changes that have taken place in the 18 years since the first edition, and realigns the focus towards Scots law.
