Surrogate Motherhood And Tort Liability: Will The New Reproductive Technologies Give Birth To A New Breed Of Prenatal Tort, Nancy Hansbrough
Surrogate Motherhood And Tort Liability: Will The New Reproductive Technologies Give Birth To A New Breed Of Prenatal Tort, Nancy Hansbrough
Cleveland State Law Review
It seems inevitable that new causes of action will evolve as more childless couples resort to the use of the new reproductive methodologies. The prenatal tort claims abounding in precedent today lay a firm foundation for the recognition of a new form of tort liability. This Note will first examine briefly the history of prenatal torts, and present the status of recovery today. The Note will then examine the history and current status of the doctrine of parent-child immunity in the United States. Concentrating on these two concepts, the nature of a tort claim by an injured child for prenatal …

Legal Issues In Creating Ppo's, Douglas L. Elden, Richard A. Hinden
Journal of Law and Health
The development of alternate health care delivery and reimbursement mechanisms, particularly those known as "Preferred Provider Organizations" (PPOs), raise a multitude of legal issues. Each PPO will exist in different market conditions and under different state laws. Therefore, while this Article seeks to identify and discuss the legal issues, it cannot provide definitive answers. This Article can, however, serve as a guideline or checklist for PPO analysis and provide recommendations and alternatives for dealing with the legal roadblocks that occur in the formation and operation of PPOs. This discussion will be general in nature and cannot substitute for legal advice …

Finally, in Part V, I show how the …
Medical Authority And Infanticide, Patrick A. Malone
Medical Authority And Infanticide, Patrick A. Malone
Journal of Law and Health
This Article tries to explicate the way in which legal regulation interacts with the medical profession's theories of health and illness in order to construct the social reality of health care and of specific issues such as infanticide. Part II of the Article demonstrates how the professional autonomy granted to medicine by the legal system makes possible professional domination over individual decisions and reinforces a societal view of health issues compatible with continued medical dominance. Part III shows how this legal dominance expresses itself in the infanticide context. Part IV analyzes basic flaws in the presumptions underlying the legal system …
