Public Health Law and Ethics

Praise for previous editions of PUBLIC HEALTH LAW AND ETHICS: "Public Health Law: Power, Duty, Restraint does not disappoint. It presents not only a comprehensive overview of public health law but also a compelling case for why it is more vital than ever in our modern world."--Margaret Hamburg, former U.S. Commissioner of Food and Drugs "No one has done more to map the conceptual and practical issues that must be engaged to translate a vision of public health into workable principles and strategies. Since its first edition, Public Health Law has brought defining clarity and insight to the field. Lawrence Gostin and Lindsay Wiley together add to the texture, context, and guidance for securing the legal foundation of policies that will enhance our health futures."--J. Michael McGinnis, MD, MPP, and Senior Scholar at the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
