Ethics, Law and Society

Volume V

Edited by Nicky Priaulx, Cardiff Law School, Cardiff University, UK and Anthony Wrigley, Professional Ethics, Keele University, UKEthics Law & Society Book Logo AW

This volume forms part of a series exploring key issues in ethics, law and society, published in association with the Cardiff Centre for Ethics, Law and Society. The collection is a celebration of the approach and values embraced within previous volumes in the series. The works collectively address new technological, social and regulatory developments and the fresh ethical dilemmas these pose, but quite critically, also compel an urgent revisiting of social and legal issues that were once the subject of controversy but which have fallen out of the line of sight of academics, politicians and policy-makers. Bringing together selected papers, the editors seek to make apparent the thematic links between contributions in presenting works written by a group of international experts in response to specific ethical issues, including topics on the ethics of care, theorizing ethics, body politics and governance; as such, the collection is multidisciplinary in approach, seeks to appeal to a broad audience and provides a valuable resource for all those concerned with contemporary ethical issues. This fifth and final volume brings the series to a close and is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Jennifer Gunning.

Reviews: ‘This is an exciting, rich and wide-ranging collection of original essays. Anyone with an interest in contemporary ethical and regulatory developments will find much to enjoy, to illuminate and to provoke further reflection in the pages of this book.’
Sally Sheldon, Kent University, UK

‘Every piece in this surprising and diverse collection, whatever the disciplinary perspective and whatever the topic chosen by the author, looks critically at the role of ethics and ethical discourse, as well as law, in both the production of knowledge and the legal and regulatory power that surrounds the part of the human experience that is the chapter’s subject. The result is a collection of essays that not only honors the life-long work and passion of a dear colleague and friend, but also provokes, intrigues, and enlightens, suggesting multiple paths for the futures of the related fields of bioethics, the study of care and caregiving, and the ethics and law of reproduction and reproductive technologies.’
Robin West, Georgetown University Law Center, USA
