Federal Biotechnology Policy: The Perils Of Progress And The Risks Of Uncertainty, Al Gore
Federal Biotechnology Policy: The Perils Of Progress And The Risks Of Uncertainty, Al Gore
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Americans have a schizophrenic view of science and technology. Some of our greatest heroes have been technological pioneers- from the Wright brothers to Lindbergh to Chuck Yeager. Until recently, we expressed unmitigated adoration for the scientists and engineers who put man in space. Yet at the same time, many Americans are generally uneasy about the triumph of technology in their own lives. One does not have to be a Luddite to rail against computers every now and then.
In deciding how to allocate precious public resources in an era of limits, legislators must take public perceptions of science very seriously. …
Introduction: Legislative, Administrative, And Judicial Nonscience, Samuel D. Estep
Introduction: Legislative, Administrative, And Judicial Nonscience, Samuel D. Estep
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This symposium deals with the legal issues, or rather some of them, that are created by scientific research. Anyone remotely interested in scientific developments should be aware that even the existence of "new" scientific "facts," let alone the application of such discoveries to everyday activities, gives rise to a host of human value judgments that should be faced and resolved by society. Although these problems are often left in purgatory forever, it is the legal system, broadly defined, that attempts to resolve the conflict of interests (or the balancing of values) when a decision is made. Making this type of …
Scientific Responsibility And The Law, Harold P. Green
Scientific Responsibility And The Law, Harold P. Green
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Because public policy is implicated by scientific misconduct, the legal profession should be interested in overcoming this problem. This Article studies the scientific misconduct problem and provides a personal view of the legal dilemmas that confront those who report misconduct. Part I describes how the scientific community currently deals with alleged fraud. Scientists primarily rely on the peer review system and toothless guidelines. Part II illustrates the problems in the present system through a case study of an allegation of misconduct. The author represented a man who reported scientific misconduct; the National Institutes of Health (NIH) investigation took five and …

Earmarked Appropriations: The Debate Over The Method Of Federal Funding, Donald N. Langenberg
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The report that follows is the product of the Committee's deliberations.
The associations which sponsored the Committee and to which its report was addressed are at this date still considering the recommendations of the report. The Association of American Universities has adopted a resolution reaffirming its position supporting the use of scientific merit for research funding decisions and opposing earmarked funding, and agreeing to a moratorium on earmarked funding while the Association supports the creation of federally-funded research facilities programs. The American Association of State Colleges and Universities and the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities have adopted or …
On The Human Body As Property: The Meaning Of Embodiment, Markets, And The Meaning Of Strangers, Thomas H. Murray
On The Human Body As Property: The Meaning Of Embodiment, Markets, And The Meaning Of Strangers, Thomas H. Murray
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
For as long as I can recall, newspapers have published brief items in which someone has calculated what the human body is "worth" on the open market. The value of the body-as reduced to its chemical components-was never more than a few dollars. A more accurate accounting, though, would include the market value of transplantable organs and tissues, as well as the potential bonanza to be had should a cell line cultured from that body prove valuable to the biotechnology industry. The bottom line could be anywhere from tens of thousands to perhaps millions of dollars.
Both moral and legal …
Federal Regulation Of Agricultural Biotechnologies, Thomas O. Mcgarity
Federal Regulation Of Agricultural Biotechnologies, Thomas O. Mcgarity
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Part I of this Article describes some of the risks and benefits of newly emerging agricultural biotechnologies. After discussing, in Part II, the role of federal agencies in regulating agricultural biotechnologies, Part III of the Article proposes elements for an adequate regulatory regime. Part IV then measures the existing legal authorities, as implemented by the USDA and the EPA, against the ideal elements. Part V examines the willingness of these agencies to regulate. Finally, Part VI suggests changes that can be made in the current regulatory regime to bring about more effective regulation and to enhance public trust in regulatory …
Cable Television Rights Of Way: Technology Expands The Concept Of Public Forum, Lawrence E. Spong
Cable Television Rights Of Way: Technology Expands The Concept Of Public Forum, Lawrence E. Spong
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note argues that the public forum analysis is the proper standard for evaluating a cable television company's claim of access to public rights of way. Part I discusses the constitutional basis for this standard. Part II examines the ideological justifications for the public forum doctrine and argues that public rights of way are public forums for cable television purposes. In addition, it explains the application of the public forum doctrine to cable access questions and the doctrine's advantages over other standards.
