The Costs Of Multiple Gestation Pregnancies In Assisted Reproduction, Urska Velikonja Jan 2009

The Costs Of Multiple Gestation Pregnancies In Assisted Reproduction, Urska Velikonja

Faculty Scholarship

The United States, unlike most developed countries, does not regulate its fertility industry. Rather, it vests control over the industry to professional organizations and to market forces. While lack of regulation has produced a vibrant market for fertility services, it has also produced an undesirable consequence: a high rate of multiple gestation pregnancies, including twin pregnancies. This Article summarizes the data on the medical, psychological, and financial costs associated with multiple pregnancies to the parents, the children, and American society. It suggests that the current U.S. regulatory regime has not only failed to address these costs as they surfaced but …

Legal, Ethical, And Conceptual Bottlenecks To The Development Of Useful Genomic Tests, Michael Tomasson Jan 2009

Legal, Ethical, And Conceptual Bottlenecks To The Development Of Useful Genomic Tests, Michael Tomasson

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

This article discusses advances in genomic research in the context of the debate surrounding gene patent rights and the limited rights of patient-participants in translational research. In addition, the author explores statutory and regulatory hurdles to advances in disease diagnosis, such the Bayh-Dole Act, Medicare Legislation, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The author questions the effectiveness of increasingly commercialized academic research and the limited success of the private sector in genomic research. The author concludes that future genomic research will require significantly increased patient participation, which may necessitate a reshaping of the pharmaceutical approach to medicine and …


Real Feminists For Motherhood Coalition, Petitioner V. Virginia, Bridget Leanne Welborn Jan 2009

Real Feminists For Motherhood Coalition, Petitioner V. Virginia, Bridget Leanne Welborn

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

JUSTICE KENNEDY delivered the opinion of the Court, in which CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS, and JUSTICES BREYER, STEVENS, and THOMAS joined. CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS filed a concurring opinion, in which JUSTICE THOMAS joined. JUSTICE SCALIA filed a dissenting opinion, in which JUSTICE ALITO joined. JUSTICE GINSBERG filed a dissenting opinion, in which JUSTICE SOUTER joined. Since this Court decided Roe v. Wade in 1973,1 we received numerous requests to reconsider the validity of that ruling or to otherwise limit its application. Petitioner renews this request, asking us to discard our much maligned and now limited Roe doctrine. After struggling with this …


Adopting A New Approach To Medical Information For Adoptees, Jessica Marie Yoke Jan 2009

Adopting A New Approach To Medical Information For Adoptees, Jessica Marie Yoke

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

Some estimates indicate that at least six million adoptees lived in the United States in 1997. "After factoring in birth parents and adoptive parents for each adoptee, the number of persons directly affected by the adoption process grows to over [twenty-four million] persons." States conducted many of these adoptions privately, particularly those that did not occur recently, so the parties remain anonymous to one another. Thus, an enormous number of Americans are now struggling in a system built on antiquated law that is not very useful, and in fact might be harmful. This Comment proposes a solution to this overlooked …


“Medical” Monitoring For Non-Medical Harms: Evaluating The Reasonable Necessity Of Measures To Avoid Identity Fraud After A Data Breach, James Graves Jan 2009

“Medical” Monitoring For Non-Medical Harms: Evaluating The Reasonable Necessity Of Measures To Avoid Identity Fraud After A Data Breach, James Graves

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

In July 2005, “reformed” hacker Albert Gonzalez noticed an insecure wireless network at a Marshalls department store in Miami. After exploiting the vulnerability, Gonzalez and his accomplices installed programs that captured credit card numbers. They stored the credit card numbers on servers in Latvia and Ukraine, created ATM cards using some of the numbers, and used those cards to withdraw hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash. Fifteen months later, Marshalls’ parent company, TJX, announced that forty-five million of its customers’ credit card numbers had been exposed to the thieves.

You Get What You Pay For?: Rethinking U.S. Organ Procurement Policy In Light Of Foreign Models, J. Andrew Hughes Jan 2009

You Get What You Pay For?: Rethinking U.S. Organ Procurement Policy In Light Of Foreign Models, J. Andrew Hughes

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The U.S. organ transplant system is in crisis due to the paucity of transplantable organs. Such a shortage exists because otherwise viable organs are too often buried along with the bodies in which they reside. Organs are wasted because the existing U.S. organ transplant system sets up barriers to organ donation--chiefly the legal presumption of unwillingness to donate ("voluntary donation') and the National Organ Transplant Act's ban on the transfer of organs for valuable consideration. This Note surveys the qualified successes of Austria, Belgium, Brazil, and France with their various "presumed consent" models of organ procurement. It also considers other …

Bottom-Up Or Top-Down? Removing The Privacy Law Obstacles To Healthcare Reform In The National Healthcare Crisis, John W. Hill, Arlen W. Langvardt, Jonathan E. Rinehart Jan 2009

Bottom-Up Or Top-Down? Removing The Privacy Law Obstacles To Healthcare Reform In The National Healthcare Crisis, John W. Hill, Arlen W. Langvardt, Jonathan E. Rinehart

Indiana Law Journal

Issues of healthcare availability and quality are among the most profound facing our nation. If a high-quality, accessible healthcare system of a truly national nature is to be devised, electronic connectivity—including increased use of electronic medical records and similar technological advances—must be a key feature. Yet such connectivity may give rise to patients’ concerns regarding the privacy of their medical information. Because such concerns demand respect, a challenge lies in balancing patients’ privacy interests against the important information-sharing interests underlying a national healthcare network. The Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPPAA) is a key federal law that addresses many …
