Presented by Prof. Joshua Shaw, Schulich Fellow, Schulich School of Law, Dalhousie University.

The lecture will survey doctrines of the 'common law' - a form of judge made law - that affects how people use and dispose of living and dead human bodies and tissue, and the legal theories upon which scholars, lawyers, and courts ordinarily rely to clarify and rationalize those doctrines (e.g., property, and personality).
