Medical law and ethics are frequently referred to in conjunction, and appear together in many textbooks. But do they combine to form a cohesive unit, and do they benefit each other? It may be argued that they do not, but rather suffer a symbiotic relationship, clashing rather than cooperating. Medical Ethics and Medical Law examines this relationship, and how the law sees medical ethics. It then considers whether medical ethics function in the way that the law thinks that it does. After providing a historical perspective that identifies medical ethics discourse as disjointed and fragmented, the book continues by examining key medico-legal case law and reports that have an inherent ethical content for clues as to how they define medical ethics and its role. The book also considers how medical ethics sees the law, concluding that a misapprehension by each party as to what the other does creates a mutually harmful relationship between them.

Review
...a provocative and consistently interesting study of the relationship within the United Kingdom between medical law and medical ethics.the book deserves to be read as an important diagnosis of what has gone wrong with the regulation of medicine in the United Kingdom.David ArchardMedical Law Review2008...a very interesting and readable book, on a topic which is, in my view, underrepresented in the literature...combines good analysis with factual information about challenging and important cases.Professor Sheila A.M. McLeanMedical Law InternationalVol 8, No.4, 2007...a useful survey of current thinking in the field of law and medical ethics in the UK...Read this book as a useful contemporary guide to thinking in English medical law and ethics.Robert DingwallLaw and Politics Book ReviewVol. 18 No.2 (February 2008)...this is a brilliant piece of work and does answer the several questions raised in the introductory chapter. It touches on some important areas in medical ethics and is certainly a highly recommended read.Usman I. LulaThe Web Journal of Current Legal IssuesSeptember 2009
