Pay Now, Play Later?: Youth And Adolescent Collision Sports, Vivian E. Hamilton
Pay Now, Play Later?: Youth And Adolescent Collision Sports, Vivian E. Hamilton
Faculty Publications
The routine and repeated head impacts experienced by athletes in a range of sports can inflict microscopic brain injuries that accumulate over time, even in the absence of concussion. Indeed, cumulative exposure to head impacts—not number of concussions—is the strongest predictor of sports-related degenerative brain disease in later life. The observable symptoms of disease appear years or decades after initial injury and resemble those of other mental-health conditions such as depression and dementia. The years-long interval between earlier, seemingly minor, head impacts and later brain disease has long obscured the connection between the two.
Risk of injury differs across demographics, …
The Internet Of Bodies, Andrea M. Matwyshyn
The Internet Of Bodies, Andrea M. Matwyshyn
William & Mary Law Review
This Article introduces the ongoing progression of the Internet of Things (IoT) into the Internet of Bodies (IoB)—a network of human bodies whose integrity and functionality rely at least in part on the Internet and related technologies, such as artificial intelligence. IoB devices will evidence the same categories of legacy security flaws that have plagued IoT devices. However, unlike most IoT, IoB technologies will directly, physically harm human bodies—a set of harms courts, legislators, and regulators will deem worthy of legal redress. As such, IoB will herald the arrival of (some forms of) corporate software liability and a new legal …

American Democratic Deficit In Assisted Reproductive Technology Innovation, Myrisha S. Lewis
American Democratic Deficit In Assisted Reproductive Technology Innovation, Myrisha S. Lewis
Faculty Publications
In many areas of innovation, the United States is a leader, but this characterization does not apply to the United States' position in assisted reproductive technology innovation and clinical use. This article uses a political science concept, the idea of the "democratic deficit" to examine the lack of American public discourse on innovations in ART. In doing so, the article focuses on America's missing public consultation in health care innovation. This missing discourse is significant, as political and ethical considerations may impact regulatory decisions. Thus, to the extent that these considerations are influencing the decisions of federal agency employees, namely …

The Plasticity Of The Body, The Injury, And The Claim: Personal Injury Claims In The Era Of Plastic Surgeries, Adi Youcht
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
The accelerated rise in the number of plastic surgeries has created an inflation of personal injury claims in connection with this cultural practice. This Article, on the one hand, aims to understand how the culture of plastic surgeries affects the tortious area of personal injury law (terms, concepts, goals, procedures, remedies, etc.), and on the other to understand how the significance of plastic surgery popular culture is designated by law. The Article suggests a new paradigm for defining personal injuries in order to face the legal challenges raised by plastic surgery culture and, in light of the culture’s re-designation by …

Achieving The Goals Of The Value-Based Purchasing Program: Defining A Standard For External Data Use, Svetlana Makoviy
Student Award Winning Papers
In our society, artificial intelligence technology has permeated through every aspect of human life. By the end of 2019, more than 60 million Americans will use some kind of smartwatch, whether a Fitbit or an Apple Watch as a part of their daily routine. Further, over 58% of people currently use a healthcare-related mobile application, such as MyFitnessPal or Nike+ Running. Health and fitness application usage increased by over 330% in the last three years. Unsurprisingly, healthcare-related data is one of the fastest growing and financially valuable data pools in the country, if not worldwide. The volume of data generated …

Yielding To The Necessities Of A Great Public Industry: Denial And Concealment Of The Harmful Health Effects Of Coal Mining, Caitlyn Greene, Patrick Charles Mcginley
Yielding To The Necessities Of A Great Public Industry: Denial And Concealment Of The Harmful Health Effects Of Coal Mining, Caitlyn Greene, Patrick Charles Mcginley
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
In the mid-nineteenth century, coal mined in Central Appalachia began to flow into industrial markets. Those mines and the coal they produced provided jobs, put food on family tables in coalfield households, and even provided housing for hundreds of thousands of coal miners and their families. The bounty from America’s expanding coalfields fueled the Industrial Revolution and powered the nation’s steel mills, factories,steamboats, and railroads. It powered America’s defense through two World Wars and later military conflicts. Coal-fired power plants generated more than half of the electricity used in the United States in the latter quarter of the twentieth century. …
The Failed Promise Of Mental Health Parity In Virginia: A Missing Key In Mental Healthcare Access, Zachary Woerner
The Failed Promise Of Mental Health Parity In Virginia: A Missing Key In Mental Healthcare Access, Zachary Woerner
William & Mary Business Law Review
For those who suffer from the most serious mental illnesses, access to mental healthcare is critically important, but often frustrated by a Byzantine insurance system. The goal of this Note is to sift through the various mental health insurance parity laws, both nationally and statewide, and determine where this system breaks down. The Note will argue that lack of enforcement of parity laws plays a critical role in much of the dysfunction in the marketplace.
Legislation in Virginia and elsewhere is not always deficient on its face. Instead, laws critically lack regulators willing or able to implement them. This creates …
