1. English medical law faces many ethically controversial future directions for reform. Choosing a maximum of two from these below, critically evaluate whether you think English medical law should be reformed to:
• Restrict the grounds on which abortion is legally permissible.
• Give more respect to the autonomy of young people under the age of 18 to refuse potentially lifesaving medical treatment.
• Limit the grounds on which vulnerable individuals can take part in biomedical research.
• Make it harder for adult patients with mental capacity to refuse potentially lifesaving medical treatment.
• Permit people with serious mental health problems to create ‘Ulysses arrangements’ to apply to their future mental health treatment.
• Allow the option of physician assisted suicide for people in the advanced stages of terminal illness.
• Limit the binding effect of an advance decision at the time it is intended to apply.
