ABSTRACT
The aim of the book is to determine the adequacy of the legal protection that is afforded to Abrahamic religious belief in English medical law. This aim will be achieved through the application of a new framework to a number of specific case studies. The core research question that will be answered is as follows: is there adequate protection afforded to the Abrahamic religious beliefs of patients and healthcare professionals in English medical law? The book will show why and where the analysis of the law currently used by the courts, including the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), fails to answer questions which are fundamental for resolving the tensions presented by conflicts between doctors and patients in the context of Abrahamic religious belief.
