Deregulating Dual-Use Exports To Russia: Is U.S. National Security At Risk?, Rochelle M. Tarlowe

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note examines whether the current initiatives to deregulate export controls on computer and telecommunications to Russia pose threats to U.S. national security. Part I reviews the development of unilateral and multilateral controls that prevented the exportation of dual-use commodities to the former Soviet Union. Part II describes the current political and economic situation in Russia. Part II then discusses recent deregulation and pending legislation in the U.S. Congress that would further reduce the controls on computer and telecommunications exports to Russia. Part II also sets forth the arguments for and against deregulation. Part III argues that the instability in …

Gender, Crime, And The Criminal Law Defenses, Deborah W. Denno

Faculty Scholarship

This Article attempts to explain some of the disparity in criminality between males and females by analyzing the results of the “Biosocial Study,” one of this country's largest longitudinal studies of biological, psychological, and sociological predictors of crime. Section II analyzes the literature and research on gender differences in crime. Section III describes the Biosocial Study and its results, noting the gender differences in the prevalence and prediction of crime and the inability of any one factor to be a strong predictor of crime. Section IV considers whether gender differences warrant disparate types of punishment or treatment within the criminal …

A Proposal For A Federal Aids Immunization Policy, Catherine M. Polizzi

Journal of Law and Health

This paper will examine the creation of a federal AIDS compensation scheme for victims of injuries caused by vaccines which are distributed as a part of a national immunization program. As a preliminary inquiry, I will examine the impact of perceived liability on potential manufacturers to determine whether the risk of liability for manufacturers decreases the possibility that a successful AIDS vaccine will be introduced into the market. I will then discuss whether, given the present laws and economic incentives surrounding the vaccine industry, a federal compensation scheme for an AIDS vaccine is necessary. After analyzing the unique problems of …

Drug-Induced Alteration Of Psychotic Behavior: Who Benefits?, Gerald J. Schaefer

Journal of Law and Health

Given the debilitating nature of psychosis, those affected are often unable to give informed consent about taking the medication. A crucial question is whether civil or criminal authorities can force the individual to take antipsychotic medication and under what circumstances this should be permitted. This review will focus on the current legal status of involuntary treatment with antipsychotics in various patient populations. The constitutional issues involved will be considered in light of both the patient's and the civil or criminal institution's rights and duties. A review of the literature suggests there is a critical need for a balanced position on …

Accessing Genomic Information Or Safeguarding Genetic Privacy, George P. Smith Ii

Journal of Law and Health

The real-although often exaggerated-threats to genetic privacy, and the resulting forms of geneticdiscrimination, posed as a consequence of research in this field, can be contained by careful development and application of legal norms through legislative schemes at the state and federal levels of government. In partnership, law and science should seek to develop a contemporary agenda for social change that also seeks to fulfill socio-political goals.When viewed as but a tool for enhancing the health of the nation's citizens, and of engineering humanity's genetic weaknesses out of the line of inheritance, biological determinism is an absolute necessity for trans-national survival …

The Law And Assisted Reproduction In The United Kingdom And United States, Robert L. Stenger

Journal of Law and Health

The development, publicity and availability of new and assisted methods of human reproduction raise profound ethical, legal and medical concerns. As for any new medical technology, there is a need for research and experimentation. At the same time, because human life is involved, there are calls for ethical and legal evaluations and regulations. These new technologies have been developed and applied in different countries, each with different cultures and legal traditions. It is instructive to compare how different countries respond legally to such new technologies. A comparison between the United States and United Kingdom is particularly enlightening because both share …

Tying A Slipknot: Temporary Marriages In Iran, Tamilla F. Ghodsi

Michigan Journal of International Law

The purpose of this Note is to analyze the institution of mut'a critically, but objectively. It is important to first understand that it is possible to learn something from this institution. The sanctioning of temporary marriages illustrates the pervasive role of law as a method of social control, a characteristic which has parallels in the West. Furthermore, the institution may be challenged on its merits. For example, this Note intends to illustrate how the lack of formalism and the presence of great ambiguity in the institution have contributed to its lack of acceptance in Iranian society. The institution's deficiencies demonstrate …
