20.500.12556/DKUM-72560 The relationship between doctors, patients and the law in North American and British literature In common law jurisdictions today, the relationship between doctors and patients is generally considered to be a private one (Dorr Goold and Lipkin Jr., 1999). Like most professions, doctors are governed to a large extent by professional associations with their own Codes of Ethics. To practice medicine in the United States, Canada, or Britain, doctors must be licensed by their local Board or College. Government control of doctor-patient relationships is generally limited to funding, but in a few areas, in particular, those that are considered to be matters of public morality or ethics, criminal statutes can apply. Historically, reproductive rights have often fallen under state control. This paper will compare fictional representations of state interference with reproductive rights in three science-fiction dystopias, Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale (Atwood, 1985), P.D. James's Children of Men (James, 1992), and Harlan Ellison's "A Boy and His Dog" (Ellison, 1969), and examine the real-world situations and concerns that these stories comment upon. doctors patients relationship common law American literature British literature zdravniki pacienti relationship zakonodaja ameriška književnost angleška književnost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Univerza v Mariboru Znanstveno delo 2018-10-08 12:12:41 2018-10-08 12:13:42 2022-08-01 22:50:29 2019-07-11 19:22:40 2016 0 0 str. 1-10 št. 1 Letn. 9 Apr. 2016 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2463-7955 821.111.09+821.111(71+73) 281851136 22042120 2463-7955 URN:SI:UM:DK:ES3O0WCW Medicine,_law_&_society_2016_Kennedy_The_relationship_between_doctors,_patients_and_the_law_in_North_American_and_British_literature.pdf Medicine,_law_&_society_2016_Kennedy_The_relationship_between_doctors,_patients_and_the_law_in_North_American_and_British_literature.pdf 1 0AA052E9C3050D1DDD44502B0730A63D 74681911a3fe2d6ea82db914be82108085b831b57ae46a22f7d750b4852a6212 71e348e6-7c10-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca 20.500.12556/dkum/d061313a-a88a-4107-9264-a0c3bd7c0187 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=130719 http://journals.um.si/index.php/medicine/article/view/6 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=130718 Pravna fakulteta Medicine, law & society 0 0 0
