Multiculturalism In Medical Decisionmaking: The Notion Of Informed Waiver, Elysa Gordon Jan 1996

Multiculturalism In Medical Decisionmaking: The Notion Of Informed Waiver, Elysa Gordon

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Beginning with the proposition that the western medical tradition of emphasizing patient autonomy undermines a patient's ability to limit his or her role in medical decision-making, the author of this student note proposes a model of informed waiver to counterbalance the perceived legal bias towards informed consent. Part I explains the western notion of patient autonomy in two distinct ways: first, autonomy is rooted in western ideals of self-governance and political freedom; second, the article discusses how this idea has been developed in American courts. In Part II, the author draws on anecdotal and empirical evidence to demonstrate that autonomy …

A Feminist Exploration Of Issues Around Assisted Death, Jocelyn Downie, Susan Sherwin Jan 1996

A Feminist Exploration Of Issues Around Assisted Death, Jocelyn Downie, Susan Sherwin

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

Although a great deal of public attention has recently been focused on issues around assisted death remarkably little of it has come from an explicitly feminist perspective. This is a serious omission at a time when legislators are feeling pressure to review and perhaps revise existing policies on assisted death, and when the policies they contemplate may have a significant negative and disproportionate impact on women. We think it is essential that there be some discussion of these issues from an explicitly feminist perspective in order to ensure that concerns about the oppression of women become part of the public …

Autonomy And Death, Annette E. Clark Jan 1996

Autonomy And Death, Annette E. Clark

Faculty Articles

In this article, Professor Clark explores the contours of the current debate over physician-assisted death. She begins by focusing on the legal issues raised by statutory attempts to either legalize or criminalize physician-assisted death, with particular emphasis on the constitutional questions that are currently before the United States Supreme Court. She then examines physician-assisted death from both medical and societal perspectives. Professor Clark uses a thought experiment in which assisted death is facilitated by persons other than physicians, and in doing so, questions whether physicians are the proper persons in whom to wrest power over assisted death. She points out …


The Promised End: Constitutional Aspects Of Physician-Assisted Suicide, George J. Annas Jan 1996

The Promised End: Constitutional Aspects Of Physician-Assisted Suicide, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

The debate over physician-assisted suicide has dramatically shifted to a discussion of constitutional issues. This spring, within a month of each other, U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals on both coasts ruled that state prohibitions of assisted suicide are unconstitutional when applied to physicians who prescribe lethal medication for terminally ill, competent adults who wish to end their lives. The Ninth Circuit includes Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, and the Second Circuit includes New York, Connecticut, and Vermont. Both courts reached the same conclusion but for different legal reasons.


Looking For A Nonlegal Process: Physician-Assisted Suicide And The Care Perspective, Paul J. Zwier Jan 1996

Looking For A Nonlegal Process: Physician-Assisted Suicide And The Care Perspective, Paul J. Zwier

University of Richmond Law Review

One of the many benefits of an interdisciplinary seminar like the Allen Chair-sponsored Bioethics seminar held at the University of Richmond Law School in 1995 was that members of the seminar had the opportunity to study the effects of the legal system's attempt to regulate bioethical issues. No question proved more troubling for the seminar than the question of physician-assisted suicide. Seminar participants, both members of the class and speakers, divided deeply on the legality of physician-assisted suicide, and for good reason. The discussions started with court decisions that were found to be both divisive and unsatisfactory. A number of …

The Legalization Of Physician-Assisted Suicide: Creating A Regulatory Potemkin Village, Daniel Callahan, Margot White Jan 1996

The Legalization Of Physician-Assisted Suicide: Creating A Regulatory Potemkin Village, Daniel Callahan, Margot White

University of Richmond Law Review

Over the past two decades, both professional and lay opinion have shown a markedly favorable shift toward the legalization of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (PAS). Yet the translation of that support into legislation has come more slowly. Only in 1994, after the failure in some states to enact legislation and the defeat of ballot initiatives in California in 1991 and Washington in 1992, did an initiative finally succeed in Oregon. Although a court injunction has prevented it from taking effect, the fact of its passage marks an historical milestone. Among Western countries, euthanasia and PAS are legally available only in …

The 'Right To Die': On Drawing (And Erasing) Lines, Yale Kamisar Jan 1996

The 'Right To Die': On Drawing (And Erasing) Lines, Yale Kamisar

Articles

Until this year, no state or federal appellate court had ever held that there was a right to assisted suicide no matter how narrow the circumstances or stringent the conditions. In 1996, however, within the span of a single month, two federal courts of appeals so held; in an 8-3 majority of the Ninth Circuit (sitting en banc) in Compassion in Dying v. Washington and a three-judge panel of the Second Circuit in Quill v. Vacco. What heartened proponents of a right to physician-assisted suicide even more, and pleased those resistant to the idea even less, was that the two …


Maybe A Lawyer Can Be A Servant; If Not…, Thomas L. Shaffer Jan 1996

Maybe A Lawyer Can Be A Servant; If Not…, Thomas L. Shaffer

Journal Articles

Consider the way we American lawyers learn about the relationship between the church and the law: This grand constitutional and legal order we propose to serve is unfolded before us and built up in our minds and hearts; it comes to us out of multi-volume sets of course books, and, like the gods of Canaan, it comes to us as religious: Thomas Jefferson said America was God's New Israel; David Hoffman, the grandfather of legal ethics in America, spoke of the law as a temple and of us lawyers as priests who served in the temple; Law Day speakers commonly …


Harvesters: Alternatives To Judicial Intervention In Medical Treatment Decisions, Karen A. Butler Jan 1996

Harvesters: Alternatives To Judicial Intervention In Medical Treatment Decisions, Karen A. Butler

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This article will examine the problem of making medical decisions for those who cannot decide for themselves. Current models of decision making will be examined as well as various proposals for alternative dispute resolution. A proposed New York model will be examined in detail. As America enters the twenty-first century, it is imperative that its citizens formulate mechanisms of dispute resolution that protect the rights of the incompetent patients to dignity and autonomy when such persons are seriously ill and unable to decide for themselves. Alternative forms of dispute resolution may be superior to judicial intervention in meeting the needs …

Direct Democracy And Bioethical Choices: Voting Life And Death At The Ballot Box, Judith F. Daar Jun 1995

Direct Democracy And Bioethical Choices: Voting Life And Death At The Ballot Box, Judith F. Daar

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Direct democracy, the political process that enables citizens to draft, circulate, and enact laws, has become the refuge for grassroots organizations seeking statutory validation in a legislative arena perceived to be unresponsive or unfriendly to their concerns. One group of citizens, advocates for physician-aid-in-dying, has recently emerged on the national scene, sponsoring state ballot initiatives in three states and pledging to continue their quest for legalization of physician-assisted death throughout the country. In this Article, Professor Daar examines the interplay between direct democracy and regulation of end-of-life decision making. This examination reveals that lawmaking by initiative, as seen through the …

Futility And The Principle Of Medical Futility: Safeguarding Autonomy And The Prohibition Against Cruel And Unusual Punishment, George P. Smith Ii Jan 1995

Futility And The Principle Of Medical Futility: Safeguarding Autonomy And The Prohibition Against Cruel And Unusual Punishment, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

Administering futile medical treatment is tantamount to inflicting cruel and unusual punishment on a patient and an abridgement of his rights of self-determination. It is incumbent upon physicians to recognize that they should accept the imposition of an affirmative legal, professional, moral and ethical duty not to prescribe a modality of treatment that falls clearly within the scope of being considered futile, freakish, or tortious under the provisions of Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. When medical treatment is classified as "futile," it frees the physician from any duty to provide treatment. While most reasonable persons agree with this proposition, much …
