'This is an exciting, rich and wide-ranging collection of original essays. Anyone with an interest in contemporary ethical and regulatory developments will find much to enjoy, to illuminate and to provoke further reflection in the pages of this book.'Sally Sheldon, Kent University, UK'Every piece in this surprising and diverse collection, whatever the disciplinary perspective and whatever the topic chosen by the author, looks critically at the role of ethics and ethical discourse, as well as law, in both the production of knowledge and the legal and regulatory power that surrounds the part of the human experience that is the chapter's subject. The result is a collection of essays that not only honors the life-long work and passion of a dear colleague and friend, but also provokes, intrigues, and enlightens, suggesting multiple paths for the futures of the related fields of bioethics, the study of care and caregiving, and the ethics and law of reproduction and reproductive technologies.'Robin West, Georgetown University Law Center, USA

This key collection brings together a selection of papers commissioned and published by the Cardiff Centre for Ethics, Law & Society. It incorporates contributions from a group of international experts along with a selection of short opinion pieces written in response to specific ethical issues. The collection addresses issues arising in biomedical and medical ethics ranging from assisted reproductive technologies to the role of clinical ethics committees. It examines broader societal issues with particular emphasis on sustainability and the environment and also focuses on issues of human rights in current global contexts. The contributors collect responses to issues arising from high profile cases such as the legitimacy of war in Iraq to physician-related suicide. The volume will provide a valuable resource for practitioners and academics with an interest in ethics across a range of disciplines.
