This book looks at the issue of harm in relation to wrongful birth, wrongful life and wrongful pregnancy claims. While addressing the issue of whether English Law is coherent and consistent in these cases, Alasdair Maclean also draws comparisons with other jurisdictions looking at the different legal approaches of the US, Australia, France and Holland. The book then goes on to investigate the issues of harm and the relationship between distributive justice and corrective justice, exploring the implications for tort theory more generally.

Alasdair Maclean analyses the ethical basis for consent to medical treatment, providing both an extensive reconsideration of the ethical issues and a detailed examination of English law. Importantly, the analysis is given a context by situating consent at the centre of the healthcare professional-patient relationship. This allows the development of a relational model that balances the agency of the two parties with their obligations that arise from that relationship. That relational model is then used to critique the current legal regulation of consent. To conclude, Alasdair Maclean considers the future development of the law and contrasts the model of relational consent with Neil Manson and Onora O'Neill's recent proposal for a model of genuine consent.

Waking the dead (Gollancz poets)

Since its first publication in 1984, Night Falls on Ardnamurchan has become a classic account of the life and death of a Highland community. The author weaves his own humorous and perceptive account of crofting with extracts from his father's journal—a terse, factual and down to earth vision of the day-to-day tasks of crofting life. It is an unusual and memorable story that also illuminates the shifting, often tortuous relationships between children and their parents. Alasdair MacLean reveals his own struggle to come to terms with his background and the isolated community he left so often and to which he returned again and again. In this isolated community is seen a microcosm of something central to Scottish identity—the need to escape against the tug of home.
