The development and introduction of abortion, organ donation, gender reassignment, and non-therapeutic cosmetic surgery have, for example, all raised ethical, legal, and clinical issues. This book examines the various factors that legitimatise a medical procedure. Bringing together a range of internationally and nationally recognised academics from law, philosophy, medicine, health, economics, and sociology, the book explores the notion of a treatment, practice, or procedure being proper medical treatment, and considers the range of diverse factors which might influence the acceptance of a particular procedure as appropriate in the medical context. Contributors address such issues as clinical judgement and professional autonomy, the role of public interest, and the influence of resource allocation in decision-making. In doing so, the book explores how the law, the medical profession, and the public interact in determining whether a new or ethically contentious procedure should be regarded as legitimate.    This book will be of interest and use to researchers and students of bioethics, medical law, criminal law, and the sociology of medicine.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aMedical & healthcare law2bicssc 7aMedical ethics & professional conduct2bicssc  abioethics  aclinical issues  aeconomics  aethical issues  ahealth  alaw  alegal issues  amedical intervention  amedical procedure  amedicine  aphilosophy  asociology1 aMullock, Alexandra4aut40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/3707670zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication
