520			_aThis book brings important new insights into the complex area of rationing health care resources and should be read by anyone interested in seeking to create a just society.'- Jonathan Herring, Exeter College, UK'George Smith is one of the world's leading experts on the legal and ethical issues raised by modern medicine. His book is a wide-ranging and deeply informed and considered analysis of those issues, with particular emphasis on the inequality with which the benefits of modern medicine are bestowed on the sick. Knowledgeable as well about the technical aspects of the biomedical revolution, Smith writes with insight and authority, and offers a perspective that will influence the policy debates.'- Richard A. Posner, United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and University of Chicago Law School, US.
