This is a collection of essays which is focused towards showing that the experience of health is shaped by law and medical regulation and that health is part of our shared subjectivities.

The issue of health is then explored along with issues of sexuality isn three essays, each offering a comparative analysis, on the regulation of embryo and infertility research in the United Kingdom and Denmark, the treatment of HIV positive prisoners in the United Kingdom and United States, and the regulation of non-consensual sterilization in the United Kingdom and Germany.
