- Autonomy and Pregnancy is the first monograph to apply a comparative lens to compelled obstetric intervention and to analyse the application of the German law in relation to derivative crimes of omission to this area. It delivers a sophisticated analysis, providing important insights about the disruptive impact of technology on the construction of pregnancy. It shapes the agenda by proposing that formal advance decisions be adopted in pregnancy and birth planning in the context of women with serious mental illness and appeals to human dignity as the way into a more cooperative relationship between pregnant women and health care professionals.
