Health Law's Kaleidoscope Health Law Rights in a Global Age [Hardcover]

Within contemporary society the themes of globalization, health and regulation interlock in complex patterns, changing in response to the mix of cultural differences, regulatory preferences and available resources. To turn the kaleidoscope and to change the mix is to change the pattern. This book is about those patterns as they arise in the contemporary legal, health and ethical context, exploring the transformations and challenges brought by technological change and the regulatory options in the contemporary global village.Contents: Preface; Introduction; Rewriting the future?; Family limits; Written in code; Reproductive rights in a posthuman world; Health rights and health tourism; Globalisation and public health law; Autonomous bodies; Health law's kaleidoscope; Bibliography; Index.Belinda Bennett is Director of the Centre for Health Governance, Law and Ethics | Faculty of Law, University of Sydney, Australia
