Fascination with In re Quinlan, the first high-profile right-to-die case in the United States, led the author to law school. By the time she received her law degree, bioethics was emerging as a field of study, and law and bioethics became her field. The mission of legal education is to teach students to "think like a lawyer," which can be a productive way to approach issues in many fields, including bioethics. Legal education can also teach individuals to respect people whose views on bioethics issues differ from their own. This essay describes three areas in which legal training influenced the author's work in bioethics: treatment decisions, research misconduct, and stem cell research.
对美国首例备受瞩目的安乐死案件“昆兰案”（In re Quinlan）的关注促使作者进入了法学院。在她获得法学学位时，生物伦理学作为一个研究领域正在兴起，法律与生物伦理学成为了她的研究领域。法律教育的使命是教导学生“像律师一样思考”，这在处理包括生物伦理学在内的许多领域的问题时可能是一种富有成效的方法。法律教育还能教导人们尊重那些在生物伦理学问题上与自己观点不同的人。本文描述了法律培训影响作者在生物伦理学领域工作的三个方面：治疗决策、研究不当行为和干细胞研究。
