Protecting Patients From Discrimination: The Americans With Disabilities Act And Hiv Infection, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990 to expand the reach of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and make discrimination on the basis of disability unlawful. The wheelchair symbol has become a universal sign of disability, but there are, of course, many types of disability that have been the basis of discrimination over the years, including blindness, deafness, epilepsy, cancer, heart disease, and mental retardation. AIDS is a disability under the ADA, and most commentators have assumed that infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) also qualifies as a disability under this act. It was not, however, …

Human Rights And Maternal-Fetal Hiv Transmission Prevention Trials In Africa, George J. Annas, Michael A. Grodin

Faculty Scholarship

The human rights issues raised by the conduct of maternal-fetal human immunodeficiency virus transmission trials in Africa are not unique to either acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or Africa, but public discussion of these trials presents an opportunity for the United States and other wealthy nations to take the rights and welfare of impoverished populations seriously. The central issue at stake when developed countries perform research on subjects in developing countries is exploitation. The only way to prevent exploitation of a research population is to insist not only that informed consent be obtained but also that, should an intervention be proven beneficial, …

Global Responsibilities: Ethics, Public Health, And Global Environmental Change, Dale Jamieson

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

In this article, Professor Dale Jamieson examines the relationship between

climate change and public health from an ethical perspective. He begins by

exploring the link between global environmental change and public health and

concludes that global warming poses a serious potential threat to human

health. Professor Jamieson then questions why the potential health effects of

climate change have received so much attention when the other ramifications

of climate change have been left unaddressed He argues that the combination

of several factors has brought the issue of potential health effects to the

forefront of the climate change debate. One such factor …

The Globalization Of Public Health: Emerging Infectious Diseases And International Relations, David Fidler

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

In this article, Professor Fidler explains how the processes of

globalization have altered traditional distinctions between national and

familiarizing the reader with globalization, reminding the reader that

globalization refers to the various factors that infringe upon a sovereign

state's ability to control what occurs in its territory. Next, the article defines

and discusses emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) and examines the

contributions made by globalization to the emergence and reemergence of

EIDs. The article then develops a "pathology of the globalization of public

health ", which helps the reader to understand better …

Bioethics Policy: Looking Beyond The Power Of Sovereign Governments (Foreword), Robert L. Schwartz

Faculty Scholarship

Lawyers are trained to think in terms of power exercised by a sovereign-an institution authorized to enforce a procedurally appropriate decision with coercive force.' Generally, lawyers have a broad notion of what constitutes a sovereign. In the United States, for example, this notion includes the federal government, state governments, most tribal units, traditional territorial governments and their agencies-e.g., school boards, local public park districts, water run-off management districts, and flea abatement boards-and a host of other institutions. As a result, it is difficult for lawyers to recognize that policy also may emanate from other institutions that possess only persuasive authority, …

The Hiv Litigation And Its Settlement [In Japan], Awaji Takehisa, Keisuke Mark Abe

Washington International Law Journal

As early as 1983, Japan's Health and Welfare Ministry had reason to know that the use of unheated blood products by hemophiliacs was infecting them with HIV, the AIDS virus. Although heated-and safe-blood products were already available from the United States, government approval in Japan was deliberately delayed for almost three years while local pharmaceutical companies developed the products. By the time the unheated blood products were all withdrawn from the market, many of Japan's hemophiliacs had contracted HIV. A number of them, or their survivors, sued the government and the pharmaceutical companies. At the end of the consolidated trials, …

Fda Approved? A Critique Of The Artificial Insemination Industry In The United States, Karen M. Ginsberg

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Artificial insemination by donor is becoming an increasingly popular means to achieving parenthood. While the majority of couples use artificial insemination to overcome fertility problems, many recipients use artificial insemination to avoid passing a genetic disease to their children. However, case studies reveal the inherent dangers of artificial insemination, namely the lack of proper screening methods to avoid passing genetic diseases to children born by artificial insemination. State-by-state regulation, federal guidelines, and private adjudication have all proven to be inadequate methods of regulating the artificial insemination industry. Ginsberg proposes federal regulation as the only means of achieving a safe artificial …

Inapplicability Of The Self-Critical Analysis Privilege To The Drug And Medical Device Industry, Patricia L. Andel

San Diego Law Review

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requires drug and medical device manufacturers to investigate and report to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration incidents involving their products, even though personal injuries may not have resulted. These reports are available to the public through the Freedom of Information Act (FOA) and can be used against drug and medical device defendants in civil litigation. To encourage candid reporting, some commentators have suggested the application of the self-critical analysis privilege to this industry. The author reviews the historical development of the privilege, arguing both that application of the privilege is federally preempted …
