Welcome to the companion web site
to Public Health Law and Ethics: A Reader. This site will
enhance your reading experience and serve as an important resource
as you continue your study of public health law. I have long been
fascinated by the intersection of public health, law, ethics, and
human rights. It is my hope that you will find these topics and
issues as intriguing as I do.
