Physician-Assisted Suicide, Albert R. Jonsen

Seattle University Law Review

This Article briefly summarizes the history of the euthanasia debate in the United States, describes the classical arguments for and against euthanasia, examines the terms of the current debate, and concludes that while society may want to recognize a competent patient's right to escape the suffering of a terminal illness, it should do so with humility—and with caution.

Physician Aid In Dying: A Humane Option, A Constitutionally Protected Choice, Kathryn L. Tucker, David J. Burman

Seattle University Law Review

This Article presents the argument that the Fourteenth Amendment protects the individual decision to hasten death with physician-prescribed medication and that statutes prohibiting physician-assisted suicide deny equal protection, guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment, to competent, terminally-ill adults who are not on life support.

Marriage And The Liberal Imagination, Gerard V. Bradley, Robert P. George

Journal Articles

In an article marked by the intelligence and fairmindedness for which his work is widely-and rightly-admired, Stephen Macedo has argued against our view that sodomy, including homosexual sodomy, is intrinsically nonmarital and immoral. His goal is to show that "new natural law" theorists, such as Germain Grisez, John Finnis, and the two of us, have no sound argument for drawing moral distinctions-which would, in turn, provide a basis for legal distinctions (particularly in the area of marriage)­ between the sodomitical acts of "devoted, loving, committed homosexual partners" and the acts of genital union of men and women in marriage. We …

Parents As Fiduciaries, Elizabeth S. Scott, Robert E. Scott

Faculty Scholarship

Traditionally, the law has deferred to the rights of biological parents in regulating the parent-child relationship. More recently, as the emphasis of legal regulation has shifted to protecting children's interests, critics have targeted the traditional focus on parents' rights as impeding the goal of promoting children's welfare. Some contemporary scholars argue instead for a "child-centered perspective," in contrast to the current regime under which biological parents continue to have important legal interests in their relationship with their children. The underlying assumption of this claim is that the rights of parents and the interests of children often are conflicting, and that …

Georgia Local Government Law: Court Resolution Of County Government Disagreements, Paul Vignos

Mercer Law Review

County government regularly involves disagreements between county commissioners and other county officers. Solutions include arbitration, mediation, recalls, regular elections, and courtroom confrontations. Enough cases go through the courts to suggest a pattern of judicial resolution. In reviewing past decisions, one hopes to understand what the courts offer, how they work, why they decide as they do, and who they favor. At least, one hopes to reduce potential frustration over court battles that might be better resolved elsewhere.

Castration As An Alternative To Incarceration: An Impotent Approach To The Punishment Of Sex Offenders, Kari A. Vanderzyl

Northern Illinois University Law Review

Although recognized as an acceptable form of punishment in other cultures, castration as a punitive measure has traditionally found limited support in the United States. This comment examines the use of castration as a form of punishment, tracing the procedure from its origins in the eugenics movement in the early twentieth century to the recent popularity of chemical castration as an alternative to incarceration for sex offenders. The comment discusses constitutional challenges to the castration of sex offenders and addresses the economic and social policy considerations implicated by the practice. The author concludes that castration represents an unconstitutional and ineffective …

The White Plague Returns: Law And The New Tuberculosis, Kollin K. Min

Washington Law Review

Tuberculosis (TB) rates in the United States have increased dramatically over the past decade. The most disturbing aspect of the disease's resurgence is the rising prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), which is frequently fatal and is far more difficult to treat than conventional TB. To combat the spread of the disease, state legislatures throughout the country are rewriting outdated tuberculosis control laws. Many public health officials have suggested that in order to control MDR-TB effectively, modem TB statutes must grant the state the ability to detain even non-infectious patients who may develop MDR-TB in the future. This Comment examines the …

Unblinded Mandatory Hiv Screening Of Newborns: Care Or Coercion?, Linda Farber Post

Cardozo Law Review

The image of mother and child is perhaps the most universal symbol of love and protection. The concept of mother and sick child evokes instant compassion and the desire to do somethinganything-to help the mother help her baby. When the disease is both incurable and fatal, there is the expectation that the combined efforts of the state and the medical community will be mobilized to intervene on behalf of those who are afflicted. This Note looks at one such attempt and considers, not the good intentions that prompted it, but the legal ramifications of its implementation.
