Muzzling Anti-Vaxxer Fear Speech: Overcoming Free Speech Obstacles With Compelled Speech, Barbara Pfeffer Billauer
Muzzling Anti-Vaxxer Fear Speech: Overcoming Free Speech Obstacles With Compelled Speech, Barbara Pfeffer Billauer
University of Miami Law Review
As the anti-vax industry continues to stoke fear and incite vaccine resistance, some means must be found to detoxify their false messages. Counterspeech, the preferred mode to deal with unfortunate rhetoric, is both ineffective and counter-effective when addressing factual “scientific speech” addressing health, I show here that many instances of the most potent anti-vax speech arise in the context of arguably commercial speech. I therefore investigate other free speech protections available to shield factually false anti-vax speech used in this context, concluding that while complete First Amendment protection may exist in the context of political speech (without proof of fraud), …
Conflicts Of Interest In Self-Regulating Health Professions Regulators, Andrea Macgregor
Conflicts Of Interest In Self-Regulating Health Professions Regulators, Andrea Macgregor
Dalhousie Law Journal
This article analyzes a set of related complaints and informal reports made to the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors with respect to an alleged breach of the College’s advertising policy. This analysis assessed situational elements of conflicts of interest in the complaint process, particularly dual roles and competing professional interests, against the Childress et al framework of ethical public health decision-making and the conflict-of-interest standards in the Nova Scotia Chiropractic Act and Regulations.
The analysis concludes that the legislative scheme fails to adequately regulate conflicts of interest and bias in the College’s disciplinary decision-making processes through weak or unarticulated standards …

Traditional Knowledge – The Changing Scenario In India, Ajoy Jose, Padmavati Manchikanti
Indonesian Journal of International Law
India is a party to the CBD, which came into force on 29 December 1993. It has three main objectives, namely the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources. CBD envisages that the benefits accruing from commercial use of TK have to be shared with the people responsible for creating, refining and using this knowledge. Art 8(j) of the CBD provides for respecting, protecting and rewarding the Knowledge, Innovations and Practices (KIP) of local communities. Realizing the need to ensure that the …
“Champion Man-Hater Of All Time”: Feminism, Insanity, And Property Rights In 1940s America, Magdalene Zier
“Champion Man-Hater Of All Time”: Feminism, Insanity, And Property Rights In 1940s America, Magdalene Zier
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
Legions of law students in property or trusts and estates courses have studied the will dispute, In re Strittmater’s Estate. The cases, casebooks, and treatises that cite Strittmater present the 1947 decision from New Jersey’s highest court as a model of the “insane delusion” doctrine. Readers learn that snubbed relatives successfully invalidated Louisa Strittmater’s will, which left her estate to the Equal Rights Amendment campaign, by convincing the court that her radical views on gender equality amounted to insanity and, thus, testamentary incapacity. By failing to provide any commentary or context on this overt sexism, these sources affirm the …
Integrative Environmental Law: A Prescription For Law In The Time Of Climate Change, Alyson C. Flournoy
Integrative Environmental Law: A Prescription For Law In The Time Of Climate Change, Alyson C. Flournoy
Duke Environmental Law & Policy Forum
As the magnitude of the threat posed by climate change has become increasingly apparent, scholars and practitioners have begun a dialogue about how to reform environmental law to meet the challenge. Concepts like adaptive management, sustainability, and resilience have emerged in succession, as policy makers and scholars search for new moorings for our ethical and legal framework. While useful, these concepts have failed to provide a vision, goal, or solid ethical grounding for environmental law in the era of climate change.
This project takes a new approach by exploring what we can learn from the field of Integrative Medicine. The …

Parens Patriae And Parental Rights: When Should The State Override Parental Medical Decisions?, Elchanan G. Stern
Parens Patriae And Parental Rights: When Should The State Override Parental Medical Decisions?, Elchanan G. Stern
Journal of Law and Health
Alfie Evans was a terminally ill British child whose parents, clinging to hope, were desperately trying to save his life. Hospital authorities disagreed and petitioned the court to enjoin the parents from removing him and taking him elsewhere for treatment. The court stepped in and compelled the hospital to discontinue life support and claimed that further treatment was not in the child’s best interest. This note discusses the heartbreaking stories of Alfie and two other children whose parents’ medical decisions on their behalf were overridden by the court. It argues that courts should never decide that death is in a …

Closing Tax Planning Opportunities For Private Corporations In Canada: What Is The Impact On The Medical Profession?, Jessica Stuart
Closing Tax Planning Opportunities For Private Corporations In Canada: What Is The Impact On The Medical Profession?, Jessica Stuart
Master of Laws Research Papers Repository
The federal government has recently proposed significant changes to the taxation of private corporations in Canada. These changes will significantly affect, in particular, medical doctors as many of them use private corporations for tax and financial planning purposes. This paper focuses specifically on how the proposed tax changes will affect medical doctors, not just because of their importance to society, but also because of their unique financial situation.
Following the federal government’s release of its initial reform proposal, many doctors were upset that they were labeled as tax cheats who did not “pay their fair share”. It was predicted that …

Negative Portrayal Of Vaccines By Commercial Websites: Tortious Misrepresentation, Donald C. Arthur
Negative Portrayal Of Vaccines By Commercial Websites: Tortious Misrepresentation, Donald C. Arthur
University of Massachusetts Law Review
Commercial website publishers use false and misleading information to create distrust of vaccines by claiming vaccines are ineffective and contain contaminants that cause autism and other disorders. The misinformation has resulted in decreased childhood vaccination rates and imperiled the public by allowing resurgence of vaccine-preventable illnesses. This Article argues that tort liability attaches to publishers of commercial websites for foreseeable harm that results when websites dissuade parents from vaccinating their children in favor of purchasing alternative products offered for sale on the websites.
Ultracrepidarianism In Forensic Science: The Hair Evidence Debacle, David H. Kaye
Ultracrepidarianism In Forensic Science: The Hair Evidence Debacle, David H. Kaye
David Kaye
For over 130 years, scientific sleuths have been inspecting hairs under microscopes. Late in 2012, the FBI, the Innocence Project, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers joined forces to review thousands of microscopic hair comparisons performed by FBI examiners over several of those decades. The results have been astounding. Based on the first few hundred cases in which hairs were said to match, it appears that examiners “exceeded the limits of science” in over 90% of their reports or testimony. The disclosure of this statistic has led to charges that the FBI “faked an entire field of forensic …

Financial Fraud In The Private Health Insurance Sector In Australia: Perspectives From The Industry, Kathryn Flynn
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Purpose - While financial fraud against the private health insurance sector in Australia has commonalities to other countries with similar health systems, in Australia fraud against the industry has garnered unique characteristics. The purpose of this article is to shed light on these features, especially the fraught relationship between the private health funds and the public health insurance agency, Medicare and the problematic impact of the Privacy Act on fraud detection and financial recovery. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative methodological approach was used and interviews were conducted with fraud managers from Australia’s largest private health insurance funds and experts in fields …
Public Controversy And Partisan Deliberation, Brian Martin
Public Controversy And Partisan Deliberation, Brian Martin
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Public scientific controversies are often the enemy of deliberation, because debating and winning take precedence over an open-minded examination of options. Nevertheless, forms of deliberation do occur throughout controversies, including what can be called "partisan deliberation" in which campaigners on each side of an issue refine and coordinate their respective positions. As well, there are other opportunities for deliberation created by controversies, though the conditions are far from ideal.
Boy Or Girl: Who Gets To Decide: Gender-Nonconforming Children In Child Custody Cases, David Alan Perkiss
Boy Or Girl: Who Gets To Decide: Gender-Nonconforming Children In Child Custody Cases, David Alan Perkiss
UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice
Transgender youth, especially those in families that express rejecting behavior, are at great risk for physical and psychological harms that can be alleviated by the support of family. However, when separated parents disagree about whether to support their gender-nonconforming children in their felt genders, especially as more transgender youth come out at earlier ages, disagreements between the parents leads to harm for the child as well as renewed custody challenges. This disagreement was adjudicated in the custody dispute Smith v. Smith. This Article analyzes Smith and applies to cases involving gender-nonconforming children, regardless of a court's finding of gender identity …

Part I of this article describes ADHD and explores the extent of ADHD medication abuse, especially among young adults. Part II discusses the characteristics of emerging adults, who may be more likely than their older counterparts to make unwise decisions about medications and other life choices.34 While we protect minors by requiring parental consent for their medical treatments, emerging adults are effectively able to obtain any drug on the market if they convince the doctor that they have the requisite diagnosis. Part III explores HIPAA, the medical malpractice standard of care and the challenges associated with a society that is …

Using Gatt-Trips To Improve Development Opportunities: A Proposal For Central America, Cecily Anne O’Regan, Patrick T. O’Regan
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
Given the geographic and natural resource advantages that countries in the Americas have which will likely shape the business and trade climate in the 21st century, accelerating the development process for developing countries in the region takes on new significance for all involved. This work assesses ways in which Central American countries can use compliance with GATT-TRIPs and TRIPs-plus bilateral agreements to promote their economic development. The first section describes current approaches to IP protection in Costa Rica and El Salvador. The final section goes on to propose regional strategies and legal changes, which are GATT-TRIPs compliant that could potentially …
Orthodoxy And 'The Other Man's Doxy': Medical Licensing And Medical Freedom In The Gilded Age, Lewis Grossman
Orthodoxy And 'The Other Man's Doxy': Medical Licensing And Medical Freedom In The Gilded Age, Lewis Grossman
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This is a draft of Chapter Two of my book-in-progress under contract with Oxford University Press titled You Can Choose Your Medicine: Freedom of Therapeutic Choice in American History and Law. This chapter shows how freedom of therapeutic choice remained an influential theme in American policy and thought in the Gilded Age. Despite the almost universal restoration of medical licensing after the Civil War, the new licensing regimes were drafted and enforced in ways that protected the rights of practitioners and patients of nonorthodox schools of medicine.This chapter starts by briefly describing the main alternative medical sects during the Gilded …

Clinical Use Of Placebos: Medicine, Neuroscience, Ethics And The Law, Steven B. Perlmutter
Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy
When I am sick, I go to my doctor. She takes a history, does a physical examination, and tells me what is wrong. I expect that she will tell me what medicine to take, what exercises to do, what to eat or what surgery is needed. I want an answer and a solution. My thinking can be summed up in just one phrase, "Fix it!" But what if there is no medicine, no treatment, nothing to do about the condition? What then? I still want some remedy that will help me. My doctor wants me to be satisfied with her …

Our Constitutional Logic has launched a survey of U.K. and U.S. statutes in the interval 1707 to 1901. Since 1600 the English language has been enriched by thousands of new words, neologisms, typically featuring Greek or Latin origins. The survey will attempt to fix the rate/s at which these words appeared in statutory text. A report on the investigation (in progress) is supplied.
