Consciousness And Futility: A Proposal For A Legal Redefinition Of Death, Christopher Smith
Consciousness And Futility: A Proposal For A Legal Redefinition Of Death, Christopher Smith
Christopher R Smith
Recent controversies in Texas (with the Marlise Muñoz case) and in California (with the Jahi McMath case) have highlighted a lamentable flaw in the current legal conception of human death, and the difficulty of defining when death finally occurs. The unworkable notion of “brain-death” remains the law in every state in the union, yet the philosophical and scientific foundations of this notion remain open to attack. This article posits that death is a fundamentally social construct, and that it is society at large (through its laws, public opinions, religious attitudes, etc.) that actually defines death. This essay then argues that …

Unanswered Questions Of A Minority People In International Law: A Comparative Study Between Southern Cameroons & South Sudan, Bernard Sama Mr
Bernard Sama
The month July of 2011 marked the birth of another nation in the World. The distressful journey of a minority people under the watchful eyes of the international community finally paid off with a new nation called the South Sudan .

The story of the Apollo 13 mission is just one of the inspirational stories from the space program. it was an age of exploration, of pushing boundaries, of discovering new ways of doing things.

When Doctors Become “Patients”: Advocating A Patient-Centered Approach For Health Care Workers In The Context Of Mandatory Influenza Vaccinations And Informed Consent, Christine N. Coughlin, Nancy King, Kathi Kemper
Christine Nero Coughlin
Today’s health care delivery has evolved from the physician-centered model showcased in The Doctor into a more patient-centered model. Although the definition and boundaries of the patient-centered health care movement are still being developed and refined, patient-centered care is arguably distinguishable, both historically and conceptually, from public health. Nonetheless, just as public health concerns and individual medical choices have come together in some health care decision-making contexts for centuries, contemporary questions such as whether hospitals should mandate annual influenza vaccinations for their health care workers involve legal and ethical principles underlying the patient-centered movement, most notably that of informed consent. …
