The Aids Blood-Transfusion Cases: A Legal And Economic Analysis Of Liability, Ross D. Eckert May 1992

The Aids Blood-Transfusion Cases: A Legal And Economic Analysis Of Liability, Ross D. Eckert

San Diego Law Review

Through 1991 over 4,000 persons contracted AIDS through transfusion. Statutes in forty-nine states exempt blood banks from strict liability, and the usual negligence rule is weak. Analyzing the medical literature, regulation, and case law, Eckert argues that blood bankers have superior information for reducing risk and that stronger liability rules should be reconsidered. He finds that industry-wide standards of care often emerge from agreements among the three associations of blood banks, and that joint liability for blood banks should be considered. The Article concludes that blood banks should be subject to strict liability in tort, and Eckert discusses the effects …


The United States Policy On Hiv Infected Aliens: Is Exclusion An Effective Solution?, Christine N. Cimini Apr 1992

The United States Policy On Hiv Infected Aliens: Is Exclusion An Effective Solution?, Christine N. Cimini

Connecticut Journal of International Law

As of June, 1991, although only 366,455 Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) cases had been reported to the World Health Organization (WHO), WHO officials estimated that as many as 1.25 million people worldwide had actually contracted AIDS.' While there is no known cure for the disease, the percentage of the population that is afflicted with AIDS or infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes the disease, is growing. The WHO predicts that there will be twenty-five to thirty million cases of HIV worldwide by the year 2000.2 Due to the complexity of AIDS/HIV as a social phenomenon, the …

Medicine And Law: Selected Recent Developments, Hillary Greene

Faculty Articles and Papers

The dynamic interaction of medicine and law continues to raise difficult, cutting edge challenges for practitioners, scholars, and decision makers in both fields. The process of accommodating new medical problems, techniques, and solutions within the traditional doctrines and processes of the law involved many new or developing issues during the past year. This article will consider the state of the law, as reflected in recent decisions and legislation, in two particularly important medical-legal areas: AIDS and proof of causation.

The Urban Crisis And The Federal Government's Retreat: Catalyzing Public Policy Choices To Save Our Cities, David R. Jones Jan 1992

The Urban Crisis And The Federal Government's Retreat: Catalyzing Public Policy Choices To Save Our Cities, David R. Jones

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Sections of our cities have been abandoned to a host of poverty-related social ills whose causes have as much to do with the state of the national and regional economies, structural changes in the job market, and political decision-making as they have to do with individual life-histories and personal misfortune. Bleak outcomes are not inevitable and can be reversed by understanding why faulty policy options were adopted and what it will take to formulate new policies. This essay argues for the need of proactive solutions like in combating our urban povery problem by using, (1) a "Marshall Plan" for cities, …


Hiv And The Need For A Voluntarist Approach, David A. Hansell, Esq. Jan 1992

Hiv And The Need For A Voluntarist Approach, David A. Hansell, Esq.

Fordham Urban Law Journal

After a decade of fighting AIDS, the public health community has come to recognize that strategies to combat the infection must be premised on voluntarism and not on coercion. Attempts to combat AIDS with coercive public health strategies stem from a desire to force AIDS into an ill-fitting traditional disease-response framework, overlooking the differences between HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, including the limitations in available treatment modalities for HIV. A return to such a cramped, narrowly-medicalized view of the AIDS epidemic has enormous social implications and a coercive strategy would frustrate efforts to stem the spread of the disease. …

Original Intent V. Revisionism: The Great Constitutional Debate, Eric Barnes

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

The due process clause is one of the many battlegrounds upon which two diametrically opposed camps of judicial decision makers fight out their rulings-rulings which effect the mass of citizenry and the balance of power in America's constitutional system. These opposing camps are the originalists and revisionists.


Risk And Rationality: The Centers For Disease Control And The Regulation Of Hiv-Infected Health Care Workers, Mary Anne Bobinski Jan 1992

Risk And Rationality: The Centers For Disease Control And The Regulation Of Hiv-Infected Health Care Workers, Mary Anne Bobinski

Faculty Articles

The publicity surrounding the Bergalis case has created a new and powerful fear for some-the fear of contracting a fatal disease while obtaining medical or dental care. Following Bergalis' congressional testimony, Congress passed a bill requiring states to regulate HIV-infected health care workers (HCWs). Responding to constituents' fears, state legislatures had already been debating a wide range of bills designed to confront the risk of HIV transmission in health care settings. Private actors, such as hospitals and insurers, feared litigation or loss of business if the public perceived them to be ignoring the problem of HIV infection among HCWs. As …
