About Advance Directives Across Asia: A Comparative Socio-legal Perspective (Cambridge University Press, 2023) :
This book is the first to consider the law and practice of advance directives across Asia. It will be important not only as a reference volume that documents how advance directives are regulated and used throughout Asia, but also as an exploration of the concept of the advance directive itself, in context. By examining how advance directives have taken shape and operate in Asian countries, the book also sheds light on diverse regulatory approaches, the values of personal autonomy in this context, alongside other religious, institutional and socio-cultural factors that shape health and care decision-making. As such, this book will have broad appeal to Asian and other international scholars, students, policymakers and practitioners in the fields of health law, medical ethics and end-of-life care.
