Patient Autonomy and Criminal Law

This book shows how the legal systems of European countries protect patient autonomy. It explains what criminal law protection of patient autonomy looks like on a European scale in legal and social dimensions. Despite EU integration processes, the work illustrates that legal orders of individual European countries are far from uniform in this area.
