Such violations repeat themselves in part due to the short memory of the public. Within this context, McClellan also stresses that the rule of law is central to protecting human dignity when patients are seeking health care. The negative influence on human dignity of racism, limited access, high cost, and power relationships in health care is at the heart of McClellan's argument.

These biases are often rooted in power, class, racial, gender or sexual orientation prejudices, and as a result, the injured parties usually lack the resources needed to protect themselves. In \u003ci\u003eHealthcare and Human Dignity\u003c\/i\u003e, individual worth, equality, and autonomy emerge as the dominant values at stake in encounters with doctors, nurses, hospitals, and drug companies. Although the public is aware of legal battles over autonomy and dignity in the context of death, the everyday patient's need for dignity has received scant attention.  Thus, in \u003ci\u003eHealthcare\u003c\/i\u003e, law professor Frank McClellan's collection of cases and individual experiences bring these stories to life and establish beyond doubt that human dignity is of utmost priority in the everyday process of healthcare decision making.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePART ONE: FIGHTING FOR ACCESS TO CARE\u003cbr\u003e  Introduction: Human Dignity as a Lived Experience\u003cbr\u003e  1 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eHealthcare and Law: Appreciating the Need to Protect Human Dignity: Law Matters: Law Matters: Introduction to the Powers and Limitations of American Law\u003cbr\u003e  2 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003ePhilosophical and Legal Conceptions of Dignity: Trusting Your Doctor: Defining Dignity: Law Matters.\u003cbr\u003e  3 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eEmergency Care in America: Law, Morality and Ethics \"I'm nobody.
