Stealing What's Free: Exploring Compensation To Body Parts Sources For Their Contribution To Profitable Biomedical Research, Jo-Anne Yau
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] “At first blush, donating body parts in the name of science appears to be a beautiful solution to the problem of scarce body parts for research advancements. But a closer investigation reveals an ugly fact: the philanthropic donors—referred to as “Sources” in this article—are subjected to physical and financial exploitation.
Sources play a crucial and indispensable role in biotechnology. Without human body parts, most medical discoveries would not have been possible. Handsome profits can be derived from successful discoveries. But currently in the United States, when a Source provides body parts for research purposes, the researcher, research foundation, and …
The Information Quality Act: The Little Statute That Could (Or Couldn't?) Applying The Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments Of 1996 To The Federal Communications Commission, Kellen Ressmeyer
Federal Communications Law Journal
In December 2000, Congress passed the Information Quality Act - a two sentence rider to a 712-page Appropriations Bill. The Information Quality Act, which seeks to ensure the quality of government-disseminated information, places the White House Office of Management and Budget in a supervisory role. The Office of Management and Budget subsequently finalized a set of mandatory Guidelines applicable to all federal agencies. Among other things, the Guidelines require adherence to the scientific standard articulated in the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act where such agencies engage in risk analysis to human health, safety, and the environment. As …

Why Technology Provides Compelling Reasons To Apply A Daubert Analysis To The Legal Standard Of Care In Medical Malpractice Cases, Nichole Hines
Why Technology Provides Compelling Reasons To Apply A Daubert Analysis To The Legal Standard Of Care In Medical Malpractice Cases, Nichole Hines
Duke Law & Technology Review
Traditionally, courts have applied a "customary practice" standard in determining the legal standard of care in medical malpractice cases. Recently, a few courts have abandoned this dated standard and instead applied a Daubert analysis to the standard of care, which focuses on medical evidence that is scientifically based . In light of these recent holdings, this iBrief argues that with the increasing amounts of technologies improving evidence-based medicine, the customary practice standard is no longer a useful or appropriate test for determining the standard of care in medical malpractice cases. By applying a Daubert analysis to an expert’s testimony on …

The Glucksberg Renaissance: Substantive Due Process Since Lawrence V. Texas, Brian Hawkins
The Glucksberg Renaissance: Substantive Due Process Since Lawrence V. Texas, Brian Hawkins
Michigan Law Review
On their faces, Washington v. Glucksberg and Lawrence v. Texas seem to have little in common. In Glucksberg, the Supreme Court upheld a law prohibiting assisted suicide and rejected a claim that the Constitution protects a "right to die"; in Lawrence, the Court struck down a law prohibiting homosexual sodomy and embraced a claim that the Constitution protects homosexual persons' choices to engage in intimate relationships. Thus, in both subject matter and result, Lawrence and Glucksberg appear far apart. The Lawrence Court, however, faced a peculiar challenge in reaching its decision, and its response to that challenge brings …
Institutional Oversight Of Clinical Trials And The Drug Approval Process, Paul B. Miller
Institutional Oversight Of Clinical Trials And The Drug Approval Process, Paul B. Miller
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
The institutional and federal bodies responsible for regulatory review and oversight of clinical trials in Canada serve distinct yet complementary functions in ensuring that clinical trials provide scientifically rigorous and ethically sound evaluation of new therapeutic products. To date, academics and reformers alike have discussed reform priorities for federal and institutional review in isolation, as if their guiding purposes are distinct. This article identifies the overlapping objectives of federal and institutional review, argues for the importance of coordination of institutional and federal oversight structures, and identifies potential points of coordination.

What, If Any, Are The Ethical Obligations Of The U.S. Patent Office? A Closer Look At The Biological Sampling Of Indigenous Groups, Marina L. Whelan
What, If Any, Are The Ethical Obligations Of The U.S. Patent Office? A Closer Look At The Biological Sampling Of Indigenous Groups, Marina L. Whelan
Duke Law & Technology Review
The patenting of biological resources collected from indigenous groups has become a controversial trend. Two U.S. patents in particular, one claiming a cell-line from a 26-year old Guayami woman and one claiming a leukemia virus from a Hagahai man in Papua New Guinea, demonstrate just how volatile this issue has become. This iBrief examines how, in light of such "ethically questionable" patents, the U.S. Patent Office has failed to implement any procedures to identify or curb patent applications involving indigenous peoples.
Something Must Be Done: An Argument For The Partial Deregulation Of Research On Bipolar Disorder And The Implementation Of Rolling Informed Consent, Janalee S. Kraschnewski
Something Must Be Done: An Argument For The Partial Deregulation Of Research On Bipolar Disorder And The Implementation Of Rolling Informed Consent, Janalee S. Kraschnewski
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Bipolar disorder (BD) cripples the lives of countless individuals across the globe. The healthcare community has had difficulty securing effective, long-term treatment for this disease. This Note argues that enlarging the pool of possible research subjects through partial deregulation of BD research would facilitate the development of better treatment. This Note further proposes the implementation of a system of rolling informed consent to ensure that actual and full consent is obtained from BD research subjects.
Plaintiffs' Lawyers, Specialization, And Medical Malpractice, Stephen Daniels, Joanne Martin
Plaintiffs' Lawyers, Specialization, And Medical Malpractice, Stephen Daniels, Joanne Martin
Vanderbilt Law Review
Our interest is in medical malpractice as an area of specialized practice for plaintiffs' lawyers, and we want to explore this area because plaintiffs' lawyers are key actors in the medical malpractice system. An understanding of their role is necessary in identifying what problems may exist in this system and in evaluating both proposed and enacted solutions. Indeed, some reforms appear to be specifically aimed at plaintiffs' lawyers who handle medical malpractice cases-especially the repeat players whose experience and expertise may give them, and hence their clients, a strategic advantage.
Like most of the political rhetoric surrounding medical malpractice, the …
High-Deductible Health Plans: New Twists On Old Challenges From Tort And Contract, E. Haavi Morreim Ph.D.
High-Deductible Health Plans: New Twists On Old Challenges From Tort And Contract, E. Haavi Morreim Ph.D.
Vanderbilt Law Review
In just a few decades American health care financing has, in a sense, come full circle. After being largely patient-financed in the early twentieth century, generous insurance coverage in mid-century largely permitted providers to do as they wished and charge what they pleased-an Artesian Well of Money that left patients and physicians well-insulated from the costs of care. That system's inevitable explosion of costs spurred urgent efforts to contain health care expenditures, as payors sought to control or at least influence medical decisions. In many ways this "managed care" was clinically vexatious and economically disappointing. Its medically intrusive tactics have …
Fallout From Chaoulli: Is It Time To Find Cover?, Joan M. Gilmour
Fallout From Chaoulli: Is It Time To Find Cover?, Joan M. Gilmour
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article examines the implications of the decision in Chaoulli v. Quebec (A.G.) for Canadian health policy. The author assesses whether governments are likely to strengthen medicare, given past performance and the exit option Chaoulli presents. The article analyzes the consequences of increasing private care and private insurance, concluding this will diminish the publicly funded system. It contrasts Chaoulli -with courts' dismissals of claims for Charter protection of minimal social and economic security, despite the profound effects of the latter on health status. It concludes by noting Chaoulli is one more example of the increasing prevalence of discourse normalizing privatization …
"The Last Line Of Defence For Citizens": Litigating Private Health Insurance In Chaoulli V. Quebec, Christopher P. Manfredi, Antonia Maioni
"The Last Line Of Defence For Citizens": Litigating Private Health Insurance In Chaoulli V. Quebec, Christopher P. Manfredi, Antonia Maioni
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Litigating health care policy under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has become an increasingly common phenomenon. The judicialization of health policy in this form raises important questions about the general phenomenon of legal mobilization. This article examines these questions in the context of Chaoulli v. Quebec (2005), in which the Supreme Court invalidated Quebec's prohibition against private insurance for medical services provided through the public health care system. Among the questions this article explores are: How do such cases get into the judicial system? Under what conditions are such claims likely to be successful? What is the impact …
Chaoulli's Legacy For The Future Of Canadian Health Care Policy, Colleen M. Flood
Chaoulli's Legacy For The Future Of Canadian Health Care Policy, Colleen M. Flood
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
In Chaoulli, the majority of the Supreme Court of Canada struck down a Quebec law that prohibited the purchase of private health insurance for essential hospital and physician services. The majority found it to be in breach of the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. The Court was split 3-3 on whether it was also in breach of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The decision was initially considered of limited importance by many given that technically it applied only to Quebec. In the six months since the decision was released, however, it has become clear that the …
Canada's Supreme Court And Its National Health Insurance Program: Evaluating The Landmark Chaoulli Decision From A Comparative Perspective, Theodore R. Marmor
Canada's Supreme Court And Its National Health Insurance Program: Evaluating The Landmark Chaoulli Decision From A Comparative Perspective, Theodore R. Marmor
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article proceeds in three modes. The first briefly characterizes my reactions to the Chaoulli decision in June 2005 as a policy analyst and one of the experts in the Quebec trial testifying on behalf of Canada's Attorney General. The second part discusses some of the commentaries of others in connection with this decision. The third-and the main section-deals with the Court majority's use of international evidence in arriving at its decision and argues that the approach taken violated almost every scholarly standard for competent, cross-national policy analysis.
"The Last Line Of Defence For [Which?] Citizens": Accountability, Equality, And The Right To Health In Chaoulli, Martha Jackman
"The Last Line Of Defence For [Which?] Citizens": Accountability, Equality, And The Right To Health In Chaoulli, Martha Jackman
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article explores the legal and health policy significance of the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in Chaoulli c. Ouebec (Procureur general). Through an in-depth examination of the judgments in the case, the author suggests that the majority's approach to the evidentiary, section 7, and remedial issues raised negates the potential of Charter review as a mechanism for promoting accountability and substantive equality in the health care context. The article goes on to consider the longer-term implications of the decision, including the likely impact of Chaoulli on the health rights of people living in poverty and on the evolution of …
How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Gats: An Examination Of The Impact Of The General Agreement On Trade In Services On The Canadian Health-Care System, Brian N. Zeiler-Kligman
How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Gats: An Examination Of The Impact Of The General Agreement On Trade In Services On The Canadian Health-Care System, Brian N. Zeiler-Kligman
Dalhousie Law Journal
There is perhaps no more cherished Canadian institution than our universal health-care system, Medicare. Despite Canadians' fondness for Medicare, there are often allegations that various external elements threaten Medicare's viability. One of these oft-cited elements is the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), which some have claimed will force the privatization of all public services. The truth in such claims is tested by examining the effect the GATS is likely to have on the Canadian health-care system. The examination includes an interpretation of GATS Article 1.3 through a textual analysis. GATS' impact on this system is explored on three …

Aids Prevention And The Right To Health Under International Law: Burma As The Hard Case, Rhianna M. Fronapfel
Aids Prevention And The Right To Health Under International Law: Burma As The Hard Case, Rhianna M. Fronapfel
Washington International Law Journal
Many commentators suggest that states have a human rights obligation to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS within their borders. Specifically, state HIV/AIDS prevention obligations are often premised on the “right to health” contained within many international human rights documents. Other approaches encourage states to implement AIDS prevention measures by emphasizing the detrimental effects of AIDS on economies and national and international security instead. Many commentators who adhere to the health-and-human-rights model, however, reject such other approaches as overly concerned with the interests of developed countries and lacking the ethical focus that underlies health and human rights. Implicit in such arguments …
Form Over Substance: The Inadequacy Of Informed Consent And Ethical Review For Thai Injection Drug Users Enrolled In Hiv Vaccine Trials, Joan M. Doherty
Form Over Substance: The Inadequacy Of Informed Consent And Ethical Review For Thai Injection Drug Users Enrolled In Hiv Vaccine Trials, Joan M. Doherty
Washington International Law Journal
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (“AIDS”) has emerged as a health issue of global significance, and clinical research on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (“HIV”) and AIDS has become increasingly international in scope. A clinical trial of a vaccine designed to prevent the spread of the HIV raises important legal and ethical questions because injection drug users who were believed to be unsuitable subjects for study in the United States were singled out for research in Thailand. The protections for human subjects must not be compromised when U.S. pharmaceutical companies conduct research abroad, particularly where clinical trials are conducted in vulnerable populations. U.S. …
The Use Of Tandem Mass Spectrometry In Newborn Screening: Australia's Experience And Its Implications For United States Policy, Lauren E. Fisher
The Use Of Tandem Mass Spectrometry In Newborn Screening: Australia's Experience And Its Implications For United States Policy, Lauren E. Fisher
Washington International Law Journal
In recent years, the United States has drastically increased the number of disorders screened through its newborn screening programs. This increase is made possible by the adoption of new a technology, the tandem mass spectrometer (“MS/MS”), which allows screening of up to thirty disorders from a single drop of a newborn’s blood. However, such rapid expansion of screening raises concerns regarding the purpose of the screening, as well as the current practices in place for obtaining informed consent. Similar expansion in Australia provides a model of one approach to address these difficult questions. As the first country to begin using …

The States "Race" With The Federal Government For Stem Cell Research, Joanna K. Sax
The States "Race" With The Federal Government For Stem Cell Research, Joanna K. Sax
Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences
This article presents an innovative study of the effect of individual states and private institutes in pushing forward stem cell research despite a federal ban on creating new stem cell lines. The author analyzes the impact of state legislation, proposing that states are reacting to federal policy by serving as laboratories for what is traditionally federally funded biomedical research.
