The Hiv Positive Health Care Clinician: Rights, Obligations, And The Academy, Sherman L. Cohn

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The questions raised by a case of an HIV positive student-clinician in an acupuncture school provide an analytical framework for considering the many conflicts raised by HIV positive health care providers in general. A number of conflicting social values are discussed in the context of federal and Maryland state law. HIV positive people are protected by certain antidiscrimination laws, provided they do not pose a significant risk of transmission. This protection must be balanced against the rights of patients to informed consent, the relative risk of a relatively noninvasive procedure such as acupuncture, and the academic freedom of the school …

At What Cost Will The Court Impose A Duty To Preserve The Life A Child, David S. Lockemeyer

Cleveland State Law Review

The purpose of this Note is to explore the issues surrounding parental consent for a surgical invasion of one child to save the life of a sibling.

In addition, it will discuss the new developments in medical science regarding living donors and the concept of transplantation of regenerative organs and the possible impact on the court. Next, this Note analyzes the elements of duty to rescue, best interest and substituted judgment and the court's use of the various tests to justify invasion of a child's body. This Note examines …

Genetic Discrimination: The Use Of Genetically Based Diagnostic And Prognostic Tests By Employers And Insurers, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This paper analyzes the law, ethics and public policy concerning "genetic discrimination," defined as the denial of rights, privileges or opportunities on the basis of information obtained from genetically based diagnostic and prognostic tests. The Human Genome Initiative will enhance the ability to gather and organize information that may predict a person's future potential and disabilities. Enormous human benefits may ensue from understanding the etiology and pathophysiology of genetic disorders, including disease prevention through genetic counseling, and treatment of the disorders through genetic manipulation. This information will help clinicians understand and eventually treat many of the more than 4,000 diseases …

The Interconnected Epidemics Of Drug Dependency And Aids, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Drug dependence and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are America's two most pressing epidemics, interconnected by a cycle of urban poverty, physical dependence and a culture of sharing needles and syringes. Extant political strategies to curb these interconnected epidemics involve two traditional approaches. The first--law enforcement and interdiction--is designed to limit the supply of illicit drugs to the marketplace. This strategy is advanced by broad criminal sanctions against importing, selling, distributing, medically prescribing, or possessing illicit drugs or drug paraphernalia. The second strategy to combat the drug and HIV epidemics involves reducing the demand for illicit drugs. Education, counseling, and treatment …

Women In The Aids Epidemic: A Portrait Of Unmet Needs, Arlene Zarembka, Katherine M. Franke

Faculty Scholarship

While rarely a month goes by that the topic of AIDS escapes discussion in the legal literature, a survey of legal publications reveals that the implications of AIDS for women has received scant treatment by legal commentators. Unfortunately, this neglect is not unique to the legal community, but reflects a larger societal disinterest in women with AIDS.

In fact, this epidemic looks quite different from the perspective of women. The medical, social, and legal needs of women affected by AIDS are in many ways needs that preexisted AIDS, but which have been magnified by the threat and implications of HIV …

Public-Private Partnerships In Biomedical Research: Resolving Conflicts Of Interest Arising Under The Federal Technology Transfer Act Of 1986, Thomas N. Bulleit Jr.

Journal of Law and Health

The Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 offers private industry the opportunity to enter into cooperative research and development agreements with scientists in federal laboratories and to gain rights in intellectual property resulting from such collaborations. Increased collaborations with private industry, however, expands the potential for conflicts of interest. Resolution of the tensions between the Technology Transfer Act and federal conflict of interest rules is important because federal laboratories, such as the NIH, are experiencing a loss of senior scientists to universities and private industry due to inadequate compensation. These tensions may be resolved by some combination of policies, regulations, …
