Williams criticizes the way the courts rely so exclusively on the criminal concepts of intention and causation in such medical scenarios and examines and raises awareness of the inadequate and inappropriate legal framework within in which judges have to operate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopical and compelling, this significant contribution argues for a more open and honest approach which would, in turn, provide the certainty, consistency and equality required by the law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a quintessential read for all students studying medical and healthcare law and the legal aspects of health and medicine. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565293592814,"sku":"9781844720279","price":244.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/intention-and-causation-in-medical-non-killing-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
