Not too late for that ethically inclined law and society loved one’s stocking

Nicky Priaulx of Cardiff and Anthony Wrigley of Keele have edited the latest volume in the Ashgate book series, “Ethics, Law and Society.”  Matthew Weait and I have contributed a piece on the ethics of sex with HIV, but the book covers a wide range of contemporary health/ethics/legal questions, including cloning, organ procurement, surrogacy, confidentiality in family courts, informed consent, and the place of child-rearing men in a gendered world.  Robin West says it “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.”

Details on the paper and e-book are here.

Temple University Center for Public Health Law Research

Based at the Temple University Beasley School of Law, the Center for Public Health Law Research supports the widespread adoption of scientific tools and methods for mapping and evaluating the impact of law on health. It works by developing and teaching public health law research and legal epidemiology methods (including legal mapping and policy surveillance); researching laws and policies that improve health, increase access to care, and create or remove barriers to health (e.g., laws or policies that create or remove inequity); and communicating and disseminating evidence to facilitate innovation.
