From the American Medical Association to the American College of Surgeons, this resource compiles the policy positions on both routine and controversial medico-legal issues of 26 US medical associations and specialty colleges. Beyond the summary table of contents, each chapter's detailed table of contents lists the group's relevant documents. E.g., among the 19 documents included for the American Society of Human Genetics are its 1987-98 position papers on eugenics and the misuse of genetic information to restrict reproductive freedom, genetic testing and insurance, and individual identification by DNA analysis. Brody is a professor of biomedical ethics and director of the Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston. Another coeditor also teaches medicine and medical ethics at Baylor. The other two editors are law professors at the U. of Houston. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
