To date, the law (and the related academic literature) has largely focused on HIV transmission. With contributions from leading practitioners and international scholars from a variety of disciplines, this volume explores the broader question of if and when it is appropriate to criminalise the transmission of contagion. The scope and application of the laws in jurisdictions such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Norway are considered, historical comparisons are examined, and options for the further development of the law are proposed.Cambridge bioethics and law.Communicable diseasesPreventionEpidemicsPreventionCommunicable diseasesPreventionMoral and ethical aspectsEpidemicsPreventionMoral and ethical aspectsPublic health lawsBiological weaponsCriminal lawCommunicable diseasesPrevention.EpidemicsPrevention.Communicable diseasesPreventionMoral and ethical aspects.EpidemicsPreventionMoral and ethical aspects.Public health laws.Biological weapons.Criminal law.616.9Stanton Catherine(Law teacher),Quirk Hannah1973-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910136864803321Criminalising contagion2583102UNINA
