Advance Directives Across Asia: A Comparative Socio-legal Analysis

Description

This book is the first to consider comprehensively and systematically the law and practice of advance directives across Asia. It will thus be important not only as a reference volume that documents how advance directives are regulated and used throughout Asia, but also as an exploration of the concept of the advance directive itself, in context. By examining how advance directives operate in Asian countries, we will also shed light on the principle of personal autonomy in this context, alongside other values and religious and socio-cultural factors that shape health and care decision-making. As such, this book will have broad appeal not only to Asian scholars, students, policymakers and practitioners in the fields of health law and ethics and end-of-life care more generally, but will also be of wider interest to an international academic audience in the fields of law, ethics and health and social care research. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core. copyright_page dedication contents contributors acknowledgements abbreviations introduction wellregulated_jurisdictions advance_directives_in_israel advance_medical_directives_in_singapore_a_faltering_policy_for_endoflife_care south_koreas_endoflife_care_decisions_act_law_for_better_endoflife_care law_and_practice_of_advance_directives_in_taiwan advance_directives_the_thai_context advance_directives_in_india_seeking_the_individual_within_the_community semiregulated_jurisdictions proposed_new_law_on_advance_directives_in_hong_kong_a_piecemeal_attempt_at_codification law_and_practice_of_advance_directives_in_the_islamic_republic_of_iran law_and_practice_of_advance_directives_and_endoflife_care_in_malaysia advance_directives_in_the_philippines_in_search_of_a_legal_framework advance_directives_and_the_turkey_context nonregulated_jurisdictions advance_directives_in_chinas_mainland_an_emerging_framework guidelinebased_approach_to_endoflife_care_decisions_in_japan_practice_regulation_and_the_place_of_advance_directives advance_directives_in_macao_not_legally_recognised_but advance_directives_in_pakistan_religious_cultural_and_social_influences advance_directives_in_saudi_arabia_an_islamic_approach_and_practical_implications advance_directives_in_asia_towards_generative_accommodation index Пустая страница Пустая страница
