Book Review, Global Environmental Change And International Governance (Oran R. Young Et Al. Eds., 1996), Mark A. Drumbl Jan 1998

Book Review, Global Environmental Change And International Governance (Oran R. Young Et Al. Eds., 1996), Mark A. Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

In sum, this collection of essays offers a thorough exploration of state-based, single-issue environmental agreements. As such agreements presently comprise the overwhelming majority of our attempts to regulate transnational environmental problems, this volume provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject. A follow-up volume might wish to analyze more fully the role of private actors and macro-linkages as potential complements to traditional agreements. Such departures from state-based analysis could lead to a more challenging rethinking of international governance theory.

Finally, Ms. Stewart reviews the steps taken by the United States, including embargoes against other coun­tries' tuna, to force tuna-fishing nations to use dolphin-safe practices.

Can Nonhuman Animals Find Tort Protection In A Human-Centered Common Law?, Enger Mccartney-Smith Jan 1998

Can Nonhuman Animals Find Tort Protection In A Human-Centered Common Law?, Enger Mccartney-Smith

Animal Law Review

Section 870 of the Restatement (Second) of Torts provides a method by which a court might extend private intentional tort rights to nonhuman animal plaintiffs. Given our current scien­tific and experiential understanding of many species, com­bined with existing court procedures to ease administrability, such an extension of tort law is mandated.

When Species Collide: An Analysis Of The Use Of Anencephalic Infants And Non-Human Animals As Organ Donors, Mary Ann Palese Chandler Jan 1998

When Species Collide: An Analysis Of The Use Of Anencephalic Infants And Non-Human Animals As Organ Donors, Mary Ann Palese Chandler

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

This article examines the organ transplant problem with a focus on these two potential sources. Part II exposes the problem which, simply stated, is that a serious shortage of transplantable organs makes identification of new sources of donor organs a necessity. Part III deals with the anencephalic infant as a source of organs. It discusses the nature of this fatal birth defect, the manner in which these infants have been dealt with in the past, and how they are treated today. The article goes on to discuss why these infants may be a valuable potential source of organs for pediatric …


Mandatory Hiv Testing Of Accused Rapists: Whose Rights Are We Protecting? An Ethical And Legal Analysis, Melissa S. Iotti Jan 1998

Mandatory Hiv Testing Of Accused Rapists: Whose Rights Are We Protecting? An Ethical And Legal Analysis, Melissa S. Iotti

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

At times, the law appears confusing and unfair. Criminal defendants receive the strictest of all standards of review: "guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." But why are the accused afforded greater constitutional protections than the victim? One reason may be found by examining the intent of the authors of the United States Constitution. Our founding fathers wanted Americans to escape the kind of persecution suffered under English rule. From its inception, the Constitution and the laws that followed were based on public policy and ethics. This legal precedence is used to interpret new laws. However, because of precedence, laws often do …


Keeping Pace: A New Paradigm For The Ethical Use Of Medical Technology, Kay Ely-Pierce Jan 1998

Keeping Pace: A New Paradigm For The Ethical Use Of Medical Technology, Kay Ely-Pierce

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

Advances in health care technology have forged a mighty sword in the ongoing battle against illness and death. That sword, however, is doubleedged and unfortunately has not been presented with guidance for its judicious use. Our health care system provides the technological power to prolong life, or perhaps more accurately to "sustain bodily functions" indefinitely, yet it has not compelled us, as a society, to seriously ask, "should we?" And, if we should, "when and for whom, and under what circumstances?" This is the ethical legacy of health care in the 20th century. There is but a short time to …


Complexities In Biomedical Decision Making, George P. Smith Ii Jan 1998

Complexities In Biomedical Decision Making, George P. Smith Ii

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

A central focus of medical ethics is directed toward an effort to not only decide, but to make explicit what those duties are or should be for all physicians. The particulars will, of course, fluctuate according to different social structures, differing views of medicine, health, and cure, as well as different capabilities. In a word, medical ethics is situational. One view postulates that medical ethics is essentially ordinary ethics--but applied to medicine. Another view recognizes two elements: dilemma ethics and virtue ethics. Dilemma ethics concerns itself with the moral rightness or wrongness of human actions. Virtue ethics refers to the …

Reproductive Rights Of Women: Construction And Reality In International And United States Law, Kimberly A. Jones Jan 1998

Reproductive Rights Of Women: Construction And Reality In International And United States Law, Kimberly A. Jones

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the disparity between the legal recognition of women's reproductive rights and the reality of their ability to exercise these rights. It explores how international and United States laws construct reproductive rights differently, but both fail to address the cultural, economic, and social barriers that prevent women from realizing these rights. The analysis underscores the need for states to take affirmative actions to dismantle these barriers and ensure that women can fully exercise their reproductive rights.

Women And Assisted Suicide: Exposing The Gender Vulnerability To Acquiescent Death, Lynne Marie Kohm, Britney N. Brigner Jan 1998

Women And Assisted Suicide: Exposing The Gender Vulnerability To Acquiescent Death, Lynne Marie Kohm, Britney N. Brigner

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that women are disproportionately vulnerable to assisted suicide due to societal, economic, and emotional factors, and that legalizing assisted suicide could exacerbate gender disparities in death rates. It critiques the lack of protections for vulnerable individuals, particularly women, who may be coerced or influenced into assisted suicide. The analysis emphasizes the need to address the root causes of suffering rather than resorting to assisted suicide, while also advocating for societal changes to support women and reduce their vulnerability.


Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg And The Virginia Military Institute: A Culmination Of Strategic Success, Scott M. Smiler Jan 1998

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg And The Virginia Military Institute: A Culmination Of Strategic Success, Scott M. Smiler

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines Justice Ginsburg's pivotal role in shaping the Supreme Court's approach to gender-based discrimination, particularly through her advocacy for heightened scrutiny of such classifications. It highlights how her efforts culminated in the landmark decision of United States v. Virginia, where the Court ruled that Virginia Military Institute's (VMI) exclusion of women violated the Equal Protection Clause. The decision reinforced the requirement that gender-based classifications must meet an exceedingly persuasive justification, aligning with Ginsburg's long-standing commitment to dismantling gender stereotypes and advancing equal protection principles.
