Advance Directives Across Asia: A Comparative Socio-legal Analysis by Daisy Cheu

Description: Advance Directives Across Asia by Daisy Cheung, Michael Dunn This book will 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. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher 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. Author Biography Daisy Cheung is Assistant Professor at the Centre for Medical Ethics and Law, Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong.
