Where Are The Health Lawyers When We Need Them, George J. Annas
Where Are The Health Lawyers When We Need Them, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
A momentous event in the field of health law occurred in April of 1978: the first national meeting of teachers of health law was held at Boston University. Of sixty individuals invited, almost all of whom teach health law as a full-time profession in various graduate schools, forty-five participated in the two-day workshop. While that response alone may have revealed the answer, the first topic on the agenda was: "Is health law a discipline?"
Judges At The Bedside: The Case Of Joseph Saikewicz, George J. Annas
Judges At The Bedside: The Case Of Joseph Saikewicz, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
In what may prove to be the most controversial medicolegal decision of the year, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has ruled that, in certain cases, courts are the proper forum in which life-sustaining medical decisions should be made.1 The controversy goes deep. It involves questions of who should make life-prolonging decisions, in what forum, and on what criteria. Until the last few years, these questions arose almost exclusively in the context of Jehovah's Witnesses cases - cases in which life-saving blood transfusions were being refused for religious reasons. But with society's increasing consciousness about the way people die in hospitals, …

More On Regulation: A Reply To Stephen Weiner, Clark C. Havighurst
Faculty Scholarship
In Volume 3, Number 3 of this journal, Professor Havighurst* wrote a brief Comment in which he observed that the function of health care cost-containment regulation is the rationing of health care resources, and argued that the fostering of health care consumers' and providers' free choice in the competitive marketplace is preferable to conventional cost-containment regulation as a mechanism for such rationing. He briefly outlined various reforms, including changes in federal tax treatment of health insurance premiums, aimed at implementing his ap- proach. Subsequently, in a Comment in Volume 4, Number 1, Stephen M.Weiner, then Chairman of the Massachusetts Rate …
Title Vi And Health Facilities: Forms Without Substance, Ken Wing
Title Vi And Health Facilities: Forms Without Substance, Ken Wing
Faculty Articles
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits racial discrimination by recipients of federal funds, including institutions that provide health care. This article assesses the current status of the Title VI enforcement program for health facilities and the problem of racial discrimination in these institutions that the Act is trying to resolve. After analyzing the legislative and political history of Title VI as it relates to health facilities, the author concludes that Title VI enforcement has been ineffective and misdirected and he suggests changes that could improve the program's implementation.
Father And Mother Know Best: Defining The Liability Of Physicians For Inadequate Genetic Counseling, Ellen Wright Clayton
Father And Mother Know Best: Defining The Liability Of Physicians For Inadequate Genetic Counseling, Ellen Wright Clayton
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
Although genetic disorders have been recognized for centuries, recent advances in the study of human genetics often permit accurate determination of the risk that parents will have genetically defective children.' When this information is available either before conception or during pregnancy, prospective parents may choose to prevent the birth of such defective children through contraception or abortion. Recently, courts have been called on to define the circumstances in which either the parents or the children should receive tort damages when parents are denied opportunities to prevent the birth of defective children because of their physicians' negligent failure to detect or …
