Defining The Right To Die, David M. English

Faculty Publications

Although Friedrich Nietzsche was not noted for his views on medical ethics, the above quotation captures the essence of James Lindgren's article. Lindgren posits that the recent O'Connor' and Cruzan decisions signal a shift in the law on the withdrawal or withholding of treatment. He concludes that the requirement set forth in those cases-that an individual must have clearly and convincingly expressed his or her wishes before treatment can be terminated--errs unduly on the side of life. Basing his conclusion primarily on preferences revealed by public opinion polls, he contends that a better rule would be to presume, subject to …

The Older Population In Massachusetts, 1980-1990, Gerontology Institute, University Of Massachusetts Boston

Gerontology Institute Publications

Massachusetts and the nation are aging! People 65 and older are growing in numbers more rapidly than other younger segments of the population, and the unprecedented growth of this group has created new demands on and new opportunities for every major sector of American life. But if we are to make constructive plans for an aging society, we must have sound information on the major changes in the make-up of the population.

This report shows how the older populations in Massachusetts and in the United States have changed in the decade between 1980 and 1990. It is designed to serve …

Bioethics And The Family: The Cautionary View From Family Law, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

For many years, the field of bioethics has been specially concerned with how the authority to make medical decisions should be allocated between doctor and patient. Today the patient's power-indeed, the patient's right-is widely acknowledged, at least in principle. But this development can hardly be the last word in our thinking about how medical decisions should be made. For one thing, sometimes patients cannot speak for themselves. For another, patients· make medical decisions in contexts that significantly include more participants than just the patient and doctor. Now, as this conference demonstrates, bioethics is beginning to ask what role the patient's …

Medicare Supplemental Insurance: Today's Crisis, Health Care For All, Gerontology Institute, University Of Massachusetts Boston

Gerontology Institute Publications

The purpose of health insurance is to spread risk. The system works under the assumption that, at any given point in time, only a percentage of the people in a given group will be sick. Regardless of health status, all members of the group will be paying premiums in order to cover the cost of care for those who need it.

As a group, however, seniors represent a high-risk population. They are more likely than younger people to need health care services and tend to require longer hospital stays. Yet, while their expenses are greater, their financial resources are generally …

Disabled Clients, Disabling Lawyers, Anthony V. Alfieri

UC Law Journal

People with disabilities, especially the impoverished among them, have long been the object of legal advocacy. In the rush of advocacy, lawyers have forgotten that the concept of the disabled, like the concept of the poor, is an artifact of American law and society. It is a thing mediated through ideals and discourses, a thing constructed rather than naturally or necessarily given. The social construction of disability occurs in the daily practices of advocacy, administration, and adjudication. These material practices form the dominant and subordinate visions of the disabled.

The dominant vision of the disabled conjures images of dependence, incompetence, …

Clayton Act Scrutiny Of Nonprofit Hospital Mergers: The Wrong Rx For Ailing Institutions, David L. Glazer

Washington Law Review

The Sherman and Clayton antitrust laws have long been used to challenge anticompetitive mergers between for-profit entities. Recently, the federal government began challenging mergers between nonprofit hospitals under the Clayton Act. Two federal circuit courts are divided on whether nonprofit mergers are subject to Clayton Act scrutiny. This Comment examines the statutory interpretations and the policy arguments suggested by the two cases, and concludes that the Clayton Act does not, and should not, apply to nonprofit hospital mergers.
