Unrelated Living Organ Donation: Ultra Needs To Go, Sujit Choudhry, Abdallah S. Daar May 2003

Unrelated Living Organ Donation: Ultra Needs To Go, Sujit Choudhry, Abdallah S. Daar

Sujit Choudhry

The recent review of the Unrelated Live Transplant Regulatory Authority (ULTRA) provides administrative and statistical information regarding living donor kidney transplantation in the United Kingdom. However, it leaves much unsaid. For example, although the report does mention the number of live kidney donations from unrelated donors that ULTRA has approved, it fails to mention that the United Kingdom has a low live kidney donation rate compared with other European countries (in 1999, 5.3 kidney donors per million population in the UK; 8.7 in Switzerland, 11.5 in Sweden, 24.6 in Norway).

'Information Feudalism: Who Owns The Knowledge Economy. A Book Review' (2003) 21 (1) Prometheus 127-132, Matthew Rimmer

Matthew Rimmer

Back in 1995, Peter Drahos wrote a futuristic article called ‘Information feudalism in the information society’. It took the form of an imagined history of the information society in the year 2015.

When Individual Differences Demand Equal Treatment: An Equal Rights Approach To The Special Needs Of Girls In The Juvenile Justice System, Francine Sherman, Marsha L. Levick Dec 2002

When Individual Differences Demand Equal Treatment: An Equal Rights Approach To The Special Needs Of Girls In The Juvenile Justice System, Francine Sherman, Marsha L. Levick

Francine T. Sherman

This article argues that disparities girls face in the juvenile justice system can be remedied by employing equal rights analysis including the federal Equal Protection Clause, state Equal Rights Amendments, and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Unlike the adult prison context, in which equal protection and Title IX have had limited success, the juvenile justice system is premised on individualized rehabilitative justice. Where differences between male and female offenders have undermined equal rights challenges in the adult arena, in the juvenile justice system differences among individual youth are acknowledged, and dispositions are driven by those individual needs. …
