商品簡介
While science and law have been intertwined for centuries, the relationships between the two entities have gradually become more complex as issues and ethics have become more challenging. Editor Hocking (law, Queensland U. of Technology) and 12 contributors explore the juridical uses of biological sciences to illustrate primary issues and intersections, and contend that diverse disciplines working and communicating together must share common ethical ground. Discussions cover a variety of topics, such as bioethics and human rights, reproductive and genetic technologies, resource conservation and preservation, and the interplay of law, ethics, and medicine. The book would be an appropriate and valuable reference for legal scholars, lawyers, scientists working with the legal system, and students.
