A More Perfect Union: An Examination Of The Film, Salt Of The Earth, And The American Labor Movement, Amber Montgomery Sep 2026

A More Perfect Union: An Examination Of The Film, Salt Of The Earth, And The American Labor Movement, Amber Montgomery

Say Something Theological: The Student Journal of Theological Studies

This paper examines the film, Salt of the Earth, which is based on the actual events of the Mine-Mill strike that took place in Hanover, New Mexico, in 1949. The strike was organized by Mexican workers with the help of their wives. The fight was over workers’ rights, as well as their dignity. At the same time, another fight was taking place. The wives of these miners were also seeking equality within their marriages, serving as a parallel narrative to the strike. To understand the environment at this time, this paper will also analyze American politics during this period, …


Proxy End-Of-Life Decision-Making: Ethical, Religious And Existential Dimensions, Deborah Kaufman Giordano Sep 2026

Proxy End-Of-Life Decision-Making: Ethical, Religious And Existential Dimensions, Deborah Kaufman Giordano

Say Something Theological: The Student Journal of Theological Studies

End-of-life decision-making conducted by medical proxies on behalf of incapacitated loved ones presents profound theological, ethical, and existential challenges. In the qualitative study “Influence of Culture and Spiritual Tradition on Support for Families of Children Dying in Intensive Care Units” (Journal of Pediatric Nursing), Ju et al found that the most painful moment for parents and proxies was not the death itself, but the agonizing decision to withdraw life-sustaining treatment. As a hospital chaplain, I have witnessed these moments where faith, culture, and medical ethics collide. This paper argues that proxy decision-making cannot be understood solely through the lens of …


Evaluating The Case Against Fda Independence, Patricia J. Zettler, Rachel E. Sachs Sep 2026

Evaluating The Case Against Fda Independence, Patricia J. Zettler, Rachel E. Sachs

Utah Law Review

Many former FDA officials, both politically-appointed leaders and those from the career ranks, as well as numerous FDA scholars have advocated for increased FDA independence in varied forms, and for good reason. At the same time, there are advantages to FDA’s current structure, and there may be ways to insulate career scientific experts’ decisions from political influence and to address other problems by generating independence, without overhauling the agency’s design. Policymakers should consider all options, as particular independence features may, or may not, be the best way, to address concerns about FDA’s capacity to carry out its vital public health …


Fda In 2050: Best- And Worst-Case Scenarios, Michael S. Sinha Sep 2026

Fda In 2050: Best- And Worst-Case Scenarios, Michael S. Sinha

Utah Law Review

In 2025, the Trump administration disrupted many critical aspects of the biomedical research infrastructure in the United States. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was not spared. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a known vaccine denier with no health care experience, was confirmed as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in February 2025, followed by the confirmation of Dr. Martin Makary as Commissioner of the FDA in April. Departures of long-time FDA scientists, coupled with appointments of key personnel, seemingly because of their public stances on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, have resulted in a tumultuous year for …


A Primer Of Medical Device Regulation: How To Go From Reactive To Proactive To Better Protect Patient Safety, Sneha Dave, Rita F. Redberg Sep 2026

A Primer Of Medical Device Regulation: How To Go From Reactive To Proactive To Better Protect Patient Safety, Sneha Dave, Rita F. Redberg

Utah Law Review

FDA oversight of medical devices has too often been reactive, following preventable disasters rather than based on a proactive commitment to patient safety. The history of the device framework, the expansion of expedited pathways, weak postmarket surveillance, broad preemption, and conflicted patient advocacy together create a perfect storm of a regulatory environment that tolerates uncertainty and externalizes costs onto patients. Reforms such as time‑limited breakthrough status, mandatory and enforceable postmarket studies, requirements for more robust safety and efficacy data, and strengthened reporting duty for clinicians would move device regulation closer to FDA’s statutory mandate to protect public health. It would …


Fireproofing The Fda: Power, Politics, And Public Health, Daniel G. Aaron Sep 2026

Fireproofing The Fda: Power, Politics, And Public Health, Daniel G. Aaron

Utah Law Review

On September 26, 2025, the S.J. Quinney College of Law hosted the Lee E. Teitelbaum Utah Law Review Symposium — Fireproofing the FDA: Power, Politics, and Public Health. The symposium is available on YouTube. Participants discussed problems longstanding and new in an attempt to chart a path for this vital agency. Topics included (1) What is the purpose of FDA?; (2) In what ways are the current Administration’s actions precedented or unprecedented?; (3) What is the current and ideal relationship between law and politics?; (4) How can law serve as an agent of public health?; and (5) How do we …


Fda Policymaking In The Trump Deregulation Era, Jordan Paradise J.D. Sep 2026

Fda Policymaking In The Trump Deregulation Era, Jordan Paradise J.D.

Utah Law Review

This Article endeavors to contribute to and continue the conversation about how the Trump deregulatory agenda is impacting a vital national public health agency, the FDA, and our national collective public health in ways that deviate from longstanding agency policy and practice. Various other FDA policy actions deserve concerted attention by legal scholars, including the agency’s recent moves in the direct-to-consumer marketing (DTC) drug space through targeted warning letters and publicity about reforming the “adequate provision” standards, food additives and generally recognized as safe (GRAS) listing processes and directives to industry, adjustments to the biosimilar interchangeability requirements through guidance document, …


Medical Device Regulation: We Can’T Just Go Back (Nor Should We), George Horvath Sep 2026

Medical Device Regulation: We Can’T Just Go Back (Nor Should We), George Horvath

Utah Law Review

For much of the twentieth century, the federal Food and Drug Administration maintained its reputation as the preeminent regulatory agency, renowned for providing vigilant and scientifically rigorous oversight that ensured the safety and effectiveness of drugs and medical devices. But a former FDA commissioner recently lamented that “[t]he FDA as we’ve known it is finished.” Many commentators have raised concerns that reductions in force will leave the Agency understaffed, that these shortages will prolong review times, and that the standards applied to premarket evaluations of medical products will allow unsafe and ineffective products to reach the market. But in the …


The Fda’S New Clinical Decision Support Software Guidance And Its Implications For Artificial Intelligence, Sara Gerke Sep 2026

The Fda’S New Clinical Decision Support Software Guidance And Its Implications For Artificial Intelligence, Sara Gerke

Utah Law Review

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare. While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the marketing of more than 1,400 AI-based products classified as devices under Section 201(h)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, many other AIbased products, including certain clinical decision support (CDS) software tools that provide recommendations to health care professionals about diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of a disease or condition, have been placed on the U.S. market without FDA premarket review. On January 6, 2026, the FDA issued a revised CDS Guidance, which superseded the September 28, 2022 CDS Guidance. Shortly after, the …


Post-Approval Problems, Anjali D. Deshmukh M.D., J.D. Sep 2026

Post-Approval Problems, Anjali D. Deshmukh M.D., J.D.

Utah Law Review

Sitting across from 4-year-old Jessica’s parents, I whispered the truth: the most promising drug to fight their daughter’s disease was a therapy approved for adults, not for children her age. We could estimate the dose, monitor her organs, and hope the toxicity would not outpace the benefits, but there was no high-quality clinical trial data proving it was safe for kids like her yet, despite congressional mandates. Unexpected safety issues are often identified after drugs are approved and used outside of a closely controlled clinical trial, especially in understudied populations like children, the elderly, and pregnant women. When I asked …

Reimagining The Crises Of Extractivism: Towards A Critical Cultural Political Economy Of Extractivism And Beyond, James Alejandro Artiga-Purcell Sep 2026

Reimagining The Crises Of Extractivism: Towards A Critical Cultural Political Economy Of Extractivism And Beyond, James Alejandro Artiga-Purcell

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Extractivism faces interlocking crises of its own making. Extractive governance has failed to foster democratic, socially just, and ecologically sustainable political economies. The expansion of extractive zones has provoked surging conflicts across the world over access to and control over life-giving resources like land, air, and water. The devastating socio-ecological ramifications inherent in extractivism have gone global, as exemplified by the climate crisis. Despite growing recognition of these crises of extractivism, ideologically diverse governments, corporations, and civil society organizations have consistently doubled down on extractivist solutions. This special issue interrogates the crises of, contradictory solutions for, and potential alternatives to …
