Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Medical Decision-Making on Behalf of Young Children: A Comparative Perspective by Edited by Dr Imogen Goold Edited by Cressida Auckland Edited by Jonathan Herring
In the wake of the Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans cases a wide-ranging international conversation was started regarding alternative thresholds for intervention. This book provides a comparative perspective on these issues by bringing together analysis from a range of jurisdictions across Europe North and South America Africa and Asia. Contextualising the differences and similarities and drawing out the cultural and social values that inform the approach in different countries this volume is highly valuable to scholars across jurisdictions not only to inform their own local debate on how best to navigate such cases but also to foster inter-jurisdictional debate.
