Title: Endings and beginnings
Description: "Using an "institutional" approach as an alternative to the prevailing "rights"--Based analysis of problems in law and medicine, this study explains why society should resist the tendency to look to science and law for a resolution of intimate matters, such as how our children are born and how we die. Palmer's institutional approach demonstrates that legislative analysis is often more important than judicial analysis when it comes to issues raised by new reproductive technologies and physician-assisted suicide."--Jacket.
