Cambridge Bioethics and Law

Surrogacy is a rapidly evolving global phenomenon that raises profound legal, ethical, and social questions. This book offers a pioneering Rights-Based Pyramid Approach, balancing adults' rights through liberty, equality, and vulnerability, to secure the best interests of children at the centre. Drawing on extensive empirical research in Sri Lanka, alongside comparative analysis of India and the UK, it provides a uniquely context-sensitive perspective on how surrogacy laws can and should respond to real-world challenges. A distinctive feature of this book is its examination of how one country's laws impact surrogacy both within and beyond national borders, shaping practices, markets, and policy responses across regions. Written in clear, accessible language, the book bridges academic and practical debates, making it essential reading for students, researchers, and professionals in law, bioethics, gender studies, social policy, sociology, psychology, and public health, as well as policymakers and practitioners seeking a comprehensive yet practical guide.

A Pyramid Approach to Surrogacy Law

Biotechnology: The Technological Applications of Genetics and Genomics, Third Edition, approaches modern biotechnology from a molecular basis, discussing how the fields of genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, and biochemistry are merging their respective discoveries into the expanding applied field of biotechnology. Each chapter starts with basic concepts that develop into more specific and detailed applications, providing readers with a good image of possibilities and current limitations in the field and future research directions. This new edition has been fully revised and updated to include research advances, and has new chapters on artificial intelligence, genome editing, precision and personalized medicine, and more. This book is an invaluable resource to anyone interested in understanding what molecular biotechnology is as a scientific discipline, how research in this area is conducted, and how this technology may impact the future.

Eastern Church Identities

Despite the widespread popularity of body modification, this study is the first to provide a comparative analysis of Catholic and Orthodox perspectives on tattoos and piercings.

By examining historical, doctrinal, and ethical debates, the book explores scriptural interpretations, official Church teachings, and theological arguments. It also considers cultural and pastoral dimensions, shedding light on a controversial yet relevant issue in contemporary Christianity. As a comparative study, it not only deepens the understanding of Catholic and Orthodox traditions but also fosters interfaith and intercultural dialogue, promoting communication and mutual respect. By bridging historical perspectives with modern practice, this research offers valuable insights for theologians, scholars, and readers interested in an intersectional study of faith, identity, and personal expression.

Thure von Uexkülls (1908-2004) ärztliches Denken wirkt auch 20 Jahre nach dessen Tod fort. Ottmar Leiß stellt sein systemtheoretisch untermauertes biologisches Denken sowie aktuelle leibphilosophische Aspekte dar und beleuchtet zusammenhängend Piagets geistige Entwicklung des Kindes, neurobiologische Thesen zu Damasios Kern-Selbst und zum Selbst im Spiegel der anderen sowie Aspekte einer Autopoiesis des ärztlichen Selbst. Uexkülls Beitrag zur Lösung des Leib-Seele-Problems, seine Gedanken zur Zeichenlehre als hilfreiche Methode ärztlicher Diagnostik, seine ärztliche Ethik und sein Welt- und Menschenbild belegen, wie unverändert relevant sein Denken für eine ärztliche Grundhaltung auch in der heutigen Zeit ist.

Tötungsdelikte im Gesundheitswesen und die Bedeutung von Compliance-Management-Systemen

This book is an essential resource to understanding the intersection of medical genetics and law. In a unique approach, it provides an overview on the biological principles of DNA basics and genetic inheritance linking the knowledge with the ethical and legal challenges presented by modern developments in genetics.


The first chapters educate the reader in key concepts such as cell division, genetic inheritance, genome study methods, genetic screening and testing across various countries. It further expands into complex issues where regulation is required, in particular: controversial aspects of genetic modifications, ethical concerns around patient confidentiality and biobanks' role in linking genetic variation to complex diseases. It includes legal cases regarding negligence claims from conception to adulthood and reflects on the impact of present and future developments in genomics on the law. 


Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how developments in genetics impact individuals and society, helping them navigate this rapidly evolving field. Given the interdisciplinary approach, the book is suitable for both medical and law students, practicing lawyers, medical practitioners, and genetic counselors. It is particularly beneficial for those who deal with medical negligence and need to understand the genetic aspects of such cases.

An International Perspective

Medical Genetics and Law

This book presents a philosophical and legal inquiry into the sort of creatures we are, and so how to live well and behave well, and an indictment of the failure of the Academy to address these foundational questions.

Crash Course Medical Ethics and Medical Law

The role of conscience in healthcare decision-making is explored in this important intervention in the fields of Health Law and Ethics, Medicine, Nursing and Philosophy. It takes a broad approach to conscience, looking beyond the standard examples of conscientious objection to argue that conscience permeates healthcare decisions. However, it also shows that not all decisions of conscience are worthy of legal or societal protection and that these are interests to be weighed rather than rights. Instead, conscience should be protected only when the individual exercising conscience abides by specific responsibilities. Additionally, the book explores the important issues of complicity with healthcare decisions and institutional or organisational conscience and argues they play an oversized role in general discussions of conscience. It further claims that we ought to pay much more attention to conscientious provision. The book concludes by looking at ways to more effectively regulate claims of conscience.
