Limits—The Role of the Law in Bioethical Decision Making, by Roger B. Dworkin. Bloomington : Indiana University Press, 1996. 205 pp [Book Review]
Abstract
Anyone with so much as a passing familiarity with bioethics knows how significantly and persistently the law has insinuated itself into healthcare and the process of bioethical decisionmaking. Viewed from the insular perspective of traditional medical practice and medical ethics, it is not surprising that the of the patientlimitshavoc” wreaked by law upon the landscape of medical practice, painted by a lawyer, stands in stark contrast to an earlier and much more sympathetic account offered by Columbia University historian and medical humanities professor David J. Rothman in his 1991 book StrangersattheBedside, the informative subtitle of which is AHistoryofHowLawandBioethicsTransformedMedicalDecisionMakingOther Versions
