From the reviews:
The concept of autonomy, as intended in the traditional Anglo-American bioethical discourse, is extensively discussed in the book . The contributions presented in the book are of interest for students and scholars trained in law, bioethics, and health care. The anthology can also represent a good basis for people who wish to start studying human rights in a clinical or research context. Thanks to the ability of the authors they are written clearly enough to be understandable to non-specialists as well. (Corinna Porteri, Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics, Vol. 31, March, 2010)
