Acknowledgements

The ideas behind this book were shaped by an international conference organised by the editors and held online between 30 September and 2 October 2020. This conference involved a number of additional people we would like to thank for their contribution to the development of the book. We would like to thank Olesya Petrol, Sherlynn Chan, Jacqueline Yuen, Albert Lam, Alex Ruck Keene, Urania Chiu, the Centre for Medical Ethics and Law (CMEL) of the Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong, the Law Society of Hong Kong and the Ethox Centre and the Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities at the University of Oxford for their contributions and support.

We would also like to express our deepest gratitude for the generous financial support of the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong (Project No. 27611017) and the WYNG Foundation, without which this project would not have been possible.

We would like to thank all our research assistants, Janice Chan, Lok Yiu Lau, Dominic Lo, Kesalan Hui, Dorothy Chan, Nicole Mok, Jenny Ka Yan Yau, Jacky Cheng, Sze Wing Chan and Melissa Lam, who provided us with invaluable assistance throughout the process. We would also like to thank in particular Jane Or and Phoenix To from CMEL and Victoria Kwok from the Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong for their administrative support.

We would like to thank Joe Ng, Gemma Smith and the team at Cambridge University Press for their immense patience and guidance throughout the publication process.

Last but not least, we would like to thank our family. In particular, Daisy would like to thank Steven and Jeremy for their love and endless patience. And we would both like to thank our parents for their love, understanding and support.
