Critically Ill Children and the Law Medical Decision-Making and the Best Interests Principle

Critically Ill Children and the Law Medical Decision-Making and the Best Interests Principle

A series of recent high-profile court cases has demonstrated the inadequacy of current laws in addressing issues relating to medical treatment decisions involving seriously ill children. The challenges of determining that life-sustaining medical treatment is not in a young child’s best interests have resulted in criticism of the best interests principle. This book explores the theoretical foundations of the best interests principle and alternatives offered in the academic literature to allow readers to understand why the principle remains contentious despite its prevalence. It provides theoretical background exploration of what occurs in practice and proposes a novel approach to address these challenges. Frameworks for decision-making identified in the academic literature are used to examine the application of the best interests principle in practice in England and Wales Australia and New Zealand through a review of the case law and qualitative research with paediatric doctors. The exploration of current practice allows readers to understand the challenges of applying the best interests principle but also the need to retain a focus on the child. Readers are introduced to a human-rights based approach which ensures that the focus remains on upholding the child’s best interests but also provides a more comprehensive explanation of the situation. Progressing the debate around end-of-life decision-making and children the book will be a valuable resource for academics researchers and policy-makers. It will also provide practical guidance to both legal and medical practitioners in managing disputes about the provision of life-sustaining treatment. | Critically Ill Children and the Law Medical Decision-Making and the Best Interests Principle

Executive Talent Developing and Keeping the Best People

This brilliant up-to-date compendium argues that the most successful factor in company life is good people: individuals who are capable competent and savvy. Can corporate life attract such people? Ginzberg argues that despite demographic dislocations and the challenges to the work ethic the answer to this question is a loud yes. In Executive Talent Ginzberg and his colleagues show how to attract train and promote a superior work force and how to take advantage of the different values in today's employees. Over 25 percent of the population currently graduates from a senior college and the number going for advanced degrees is climbing. Blacks and Hispanics together will soon account for one in every four new native-born job applicants. Women are now nearly as prevalent in the work force as men. Today's employees place more emphasis on family and leisure and less on company loyalty. In the face of these critical changes companies can no longer continue with the same human resource policies. Ginzberg offers new approaches to attract and retain superior talent. In Executive Talent Ginzberg brings together top academics and high level executives to explore the new world of work. They discuss coming trends and changes that will reshape the talent pool how these shifts will impact the individual company and ways to develop and implement a human resource strategy to meet the challenging work force of the future. | Executive Talent Developing and Keeping the Best People
