Pregnancy And Parental Care Policies In The United States And The European Community: What Do They Tell Us About Underlying Societal Values, Anne M. Lofaso

Law Faculty Scholarship

Reaction to Felice Schwartz article, "Management Women and the New Facts of Life,"1 has added a new question to the already heated debate surrounding issues of gender discrimination: to what extent are

current pregnancy and parental care policies instruments of discrimination? This paper will explore this question by focusing on the extent to which pregnancy and parental care laws and policies in the United States and the European Community help to subordinate those women who take advantage of maternity "benefits" as well as the class of women in general.

An examination of pregnancy and parental care leave is a legitimate …

Undefined Experimental Treatment Exclusions In Health Insurance Contracts: A Proposal For Judicial Response, Jennifer Belk

Washington Law Review

Health insurance contracts often exclude coverage for experimental treatments. No accepted definition of experimental treatment exists, however, and insurance contracts rarely define the term. Although experimental treatment exclusions are necessary and desirable, insurers may easily manipulate undefined exclusions to exclude treatments on inappropriate bases such as cost. Thus, courts should construe the term "experimental" narrowly and find treatments non-experimental if there is any demonstrated likelihood of their success.

Valuation And International Regulation Of Forest Ecosystems: Propects For A Global Forest Agreement, Michael B. Saunders

Washington Law Review

Deforestation poses severe environmental problems for temperate and tropical regions world-wide. An international forest agreement is necessary to protect these forests. Previous international environmental agreements provide, at best, limited protection for endangered natural resources. To conserve the world's forests, an effective forest agreement must recognize the economic value of forest ecosystems. This forest agreement should define a twofold rule of responsibility: that states have a duty to protect forests located within their borders, and that other states that benefit from forests have a legal obligation to share in conservation costs.

Republican Impartiality, Mortimer N.S. Sellers

All Faculty Scholarship

This article will advocate the political search for truth and justice, which I shall call 'republicanism', and a technique for finding them, which I shall call 'representative democracy'. 'Republicanism' is the belief that truth and justice exist and should guide the actions both of individuals and of the state. 'Representative democracy' is the system in which the citizens select representatives to determine what the laws should be, and to apply them. Republican impartiality provides the standpoint from which different moral intuitions or conceptions of the common good should be evaluated in a just state.

Statutory Criteria For Determining Human Death, James M. Humber

Mercer Law Review

Until approximately twenty years ago, human beings were not declared dead until they experienced an irreversible cessation of respiratory and circulatory functions. Use of these criteria-which are known as the heart-lung criteria for determining human death-was not problematical until modern medicine invented the means for artificially maintaining heartbeat and respiration. With the development of artificial life-support mechanisms, patients who were irreversibly comatose could be kept "alive" indefinitely. Maintaining these patients imposed financial and emotional hardships upon family members, utilized scarce medical resources in nonefficient ways, and denied use of comatose patients' organs for transplant purposes. In an attempt to remedy …

Autonomy's Paradox: Death, Fear, And Advance Directives, Richard P. Vance

Mercer Law Review

"The trouble with our times," noted Paul Valery, "is that the future is not what it used to be." As it is with' the zeitgeist, so it is with advance directives ("ADs"). ADs are declarations that one does not want particular kinds of medical treatment when one loses decision-making capacity. These mechanisms have received increased attention since the first living will statute was passed in 1976. Even more interest has arisen in light of the United States Supreme Court decision in Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health. Since many states may now legitimately require "clear and convincing evidence" …

In the aftermath of the United States Supreme Court decision in Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health, the writer Nat Hentoff described the prospects for resolving the issue of termination of treatment for the permanently unconscious as "The Coming Civil War":

It will be very much like the civil war . . . since the Supreme Court ... allowed the states to increase their regulatory powdr over abortion, ... there will now be intensified lobbying to amend or create state laws that will either make it harder or easier for death to come calling. . . . .As …
