by Richard Huxtable Voo Teck Chuan Nicola PeartHealthcare Ethics, Law and Professionalism: Essays on the Works of Alastair V.

Chapters also grapple with specific enduring topics, such as the doctor-patient relationship, justice in health and biomedical research, and treatment of the human body and the dead.
