Professor Margaret (Margot) Rosetta Brazier (née Jacobs), OBE, FRSA, FAMS, FBA, KC(Hons), played a leading role in pioneering healthcare law as a new category of legal analysis. Her contribution to this new legal specialism was unprecedented and foundational. Margot also played a critical role in the development of the doctrine of informed consent in the UK, and her work on responsibility and autonomy was equally groundbreaking and significant, encompassing subjects as diverse as the use of human body parts, children’s medical decision-making, assisted reproduction, HIV/AIDs and public health.
