These are cases which either signpost a new development for medical law, illustrate an important development of the law, or signpost likely future developments of the law. The cases are explored in their social and historical context to understand better what has infl uenced the develop- ment of the law. This collection provides a fascinating insight into the inter- action of medical law and broader social changes to our bodies, illness and medical professionals.
