AnnotationThe author notes how, since the publication of "Living with dementia" by Chris Gilleard in 1984, there have been a number of publications about the law and dementia, as well as coverage of legal and ethical issues in books, for example on research methods. Her article considers aspects of enacted and proposed legislation: the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000, and the Mental Capacity Bill (formerly the Mental Incapacity Bill) in England and Wales. She notes three issues in relation to changes in the ethics of research: recruitment of study participants; data protection; and inclusion of users. (RH).
