What is the legitimate role of caring paternalistic control in medicine and health care? The Limits of Medical Paternalism defines and morally assesses paternalistic interventions, especially in the context of modern medicine and health care. Particular emphasis is given to the analysis of the conceptual background of the paternalism issue. In this book an anti-paternalistic view is presented and defended.
Dr. H�yry has published widely in the fields of medical and genearl philosophy in both English and Finnish. She is well known in the UK and overseas for her provocative contributions in medical ethics and the philosophy of law.
