Reihe: Contemporary Issues in Bioethics

A critical and colourful commentary on the history of the fractious relationship between law and medicine over several centuries reveals compelling stories how law regulated healers and healing. Any view that the law consistently deferred to medical practitioners is shown to be wrong. From the womb to the grave, enduring themes are identified.
