Managing The Iatrogenic Risks Of Risk Management, Jonathan Baert Wiener

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Analogizing to concerns that led the practice of medicine to shift from a specialist to a team-based approach, Dr. Wiener suggests that public and environmental health objectives would be better served if, e.g., regulatory jurisdiction were less atomized.

International Law And International Relations Theory: A New Generation Of Interdisciplinary Scholarship, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Andrew S. Tulumello, Stepan Wood

Articles & Book Chapters

Nine years ago, Kenneth Abbott published an article exhorting international lawyers to read and master regime theory, arguing that it had multiple uses for the study of international law.1 He went as far as to call for a 'joint discipline" that would bridge the gap between international relations theory (IR) and international law (IL). Several years later, one of us followed suit with an article mapping the history of the two fields and setting forth an agenda for joint research. 2 Since then, political scientists and international lawyers have been reading and drawing on one another's work with increasing frequency …

Justice Blackmun And The Good Physician: Patients, Populations, And The Paradox Of Medicine, Ann Alpers

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Justice Blackmun made unique contributions to law and medicine. In particular, he had a vision of the relationship between doctors and patients that respected both the professional integrity of the physician and the autonomy of the patient. Examination of several of Justice Blackmun's opinions yields a nuanced view of the complex ties between professional care givers and the patients whom they serve. In particular, the Justice valued maintaining the confidentiality of medical information, respecting the role played by allied health professionals in providing comprehensive care to patients, and ensuring that patients gave informed consent to medical care. Most important, Justice …

Women, Morality, And Sexual Orientation, Mary E. Becker

Articles

In this Article, Professor Becker argues that heterosexual relationships are more problematic for women than lesbian relationships, particularly when such relationships are viewed in terms of their tendency to objectify the "other." She discusses how current "moral" norms concerning the inferiority of homosexuality to heterosexuality enable men to use women in immoral and subordinating ways. She explores moral taboos against lesbian relationships and asserts that these taboos facilitate heterosexual male exploitation of women's sexuality by obscuring from some women the possibility that they might prefer more equitable relationships with women rather than with men. She argues for greater acceptance of …

Medical Paradigms For Counseling: Giving Clients Bad News, Linda F. Smith

Utah Law Faculty Scholarship

When lawyers must give clients "bad news," they should draw upon the lessons that emerge from the world of medical counseling. Lawyers must be direct and candid about the state of affairs. They must fully describe how grim the situation appears nd explain why this is their opinion. They must enter into a dialogue in which the client's questions are answered and the client's feelings are respected and responded to. Lawyers must be self-aware in order to avoid re-sponding dysfunctionally to the client's reactions. They should show empathy and communicate hope to the "whole person" who is the client. Only …

Reevaluating The Food And Drug Administration's Stand On Labeling Genetically Engineered Foods

San Diego Law Review

This Comment argues that the FDA must reconsider its position on the labeling of genetically engineered foods. There is no doubt that genetic engineering of food promises a number of significant benefits to both the consumer and the farmer, and has become a permanent part of the food supply. But recent research points out that these benefits do not come without significant risks, both to the consumer and to the environment. A federal requirement that genetically engineered foods be labeled as such is a necessary step to promote confidence in the American consumer in the face of unease over these …

Mandatory Hiv Testing Of Accused Rapists: Whose Rights Are We Protecting? An Ethical And Legal Analysis, Melissa S. Iotti

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

At times, the law appears confusing and unfair. Criminal defendants receive the strictest of all standards of review: "guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." But why are the accused afforded greater constitutional protections than the victim? One reason may be found by examining the intent of the authors of the United States Constitution. Our founding fathers wanted Americans to escape the kind of persecution suffered under English rule. From its inception, the Constitution and the laws that followed were based on public policy and ethics. This legal precedence is used to interpret new laws. However, because of precedence, laws often do …

Blood As A Biological "Drug": Scientific, Legal, And Policy Issues In The Regulation Of Placental And Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Transplantation, Jennifer Kulynych

University of Richmond Law Review

Not all blood cells are created equal. Some are born, carry out their appointed tasks-red blood cells oxygenating the blood, white blood cells fighting infection-and die. But an elusive subset have special properties: they are the progenitors of all the many types of peripheral (circulatory) blood cells, and as such, they have the potential to reconstitute an entire blood supply. Known as hematopoietic stem cells, these blood cells reproduce indefinitely. For patients with leukemia or other blood diseases, the transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells from another person's bone marrow can provide the gift of life.

The Future Of The World Health Organization: What Role For International Law?, David P. Fidler

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Article has tried to provide a comprehensive analysis of the role of international law in WHO's future. Whether WHO realizes it, international law has had and will continue to have effects on international health policy. In the future, WHO has a choice: It can continue to act as if international law plays no role in global public health or it can build the commitment and capacity needed to integrate international law into its endeavors and into the creation of global health jurisprudence. Building such commitment and capacity will not resurrect WHO to its past glories, but they may very …

Parental Conflict Prevention Programs And The Unified Family Court: A Public Health Perspective, Andrew Schepard

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

The thesis of this article is that every unified family court should develop a prevention plan to help parents reduce conflict arising out of divorce and separation. A coherent prevention strategy should become a fundamental criteria for distinguishing high-quality family courts from those that do not serve their publics as well. Models of useful pro-grams already exist and can be incorporated into a court's prevention plan. Judges, legislators, lawyers, mental health professionals, and child advocates should insist that they are.

Section Two of this article describes the problems facing courts, parents, and children resulting from divorce and separation in terms …
