Wade to John Hinckley, Jr., some of the most sensational 20th-century court cases involved medical evidence, and the forensic pathologist emerged as a celebrity with starring roles in movies and TV shows. What do we find so intriguing about the use-and misuse-of modern medicine? - Medicine on Trial: A Handbook with Cases, Laws, and Documents chronicles the changing role of medicine in the American courtroom during the last 150 years. Integrating legal, historical, and medical perspectives, this comprehensive compilation tackles such public controversies as the "right to die" in the case of Karen Ann Quinlan, Dr. Jack Kevorkian and assisted suicide laws, reproductive rights cases such as "Baby M," and issues surrounding mental illness. - The book gives special attention to medical personnel as expert witnesses in the courtroom, a challenge which calls into question deeply rooted notions of professionalism and ethics. A series of criminal and bioethics cases highlights the wide range of debates, while a lively discussion presents issues that may become even more controversial in the future, such as DNA testing and artificial reproductive technology. ** 適用研究範圍 [#w8fa7f5d] - 醫學、行政法、工具、教育、歷史、法醫、社會 - [[醫學]]、行政法、工具、[[教育]]、[[歷史]]、法醫、[[社會]]
