Recent advances in medical technology have provided healthcare staff with the possibility of maintaining the life of a brain-dead pregnant woman on life-support in order to achieve successful delivery of the foetus. Management of Post-Mortem Pregnancy examines the legal and ethical difficulties surrounding such post-mortem management.
The book delves into the legal complexities surrounding posthumous interests within three specific medico-legal contexts. It examines how these interests are treated under the law, exploring implications for areas such as inheritance, medical decision-making, and the rights of deceased individuals. Through a detailed analysis, it aims to clarify the legal frameworks that govern these issues, providing insights into the intersection of law, ethics, and medicine.
