All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications

This report analyzes the potential impact of a proposed paid sick and family care leave legislation on the economy of the state of Ohio, the economic development prospects of the state and on the management of production processes that depend on highly integrate teams. The report also reviews the literature on the effect of mandated paid sick and family care leave on the industrial relations system—workplace performance and worker retention. Our analysis concludes that there would have been a net cost associated with the paid sick leave and family-care initiative proposed in Ohio with a lower bound estimate of $63.84 …

Revealing Your Sources: The Case For Non-Anonymous Gamete Donation, Michelle Dennison Jan 2008

Revealing Your Sources: The Case For Non-Anonymous Gamete Donation, Michelle Dennison

Journal of Law and Health

This article argues that both legislating the end of anonymous gamete donation and allowing current children of anonymous gamete donation the ability to access identifying information about their donors is in the best interests of all parties involved in the donation process. Recipient-parents and donor-conceived children will benefit from having increased access to their donor's health information. Records access, including access to a donor's identifying information, will help donor-conceived children avoid potential incest and what is sometimes termed in adoption cases "genealogical bewilderment." Finally, banning anonymous donation will give potential gamete donors the ability to make a truly informed decision …

A description of how illicit use can be harmful to a student follows, and thereafter the note describes the scant current safeguards that currently exist against the use of illicit prescription stimulants. An explanation of the importance of standardized test scores to admissions follows, along with a description of how this importance has motivated students to seek an unfair competitive edge through illicit drug usage, which happens in many sporting competitions. …

A Philosophy Of Privatization: Rationing Health Care Through The Medicare Modernization Act Of 2003, Eleanor Bhat Sorresso Jan 2008

A Philosophy Of Privatization: Rationing Health Care Through The Medicare Modernization Act Of 2003, Eleanor Bhat Sorresso

Journal of Law and Health

The trend in coping with these rising Medicare costs has been to increase the role that private insurance plays in providing coverage for Medicare recipients. Much of this movement towards an increased "privatization" of Medicare has been born of the belief that the private sector of health care insurance coverage has been made more efficient by existing market forces and will provide a way to both continue providing health care to elderly Americans while containing Medicare costs through these increased efficiencies as exemplified through the managed care model. This premise will be further explored in this article. First, this article …


Redefining Stewardship Over Body Parts , Elizabeth E. Appel Blue Jan 2008

Redefining Stewardship Over Body Parts , Elizabeth E. Appel Blue

Journal of Law and Health

This paper proposes one possible avenue for defining a framework to address body parts. I begin with the presumption that given the increasing use of body parts outside of our bodies, either after death or during life, society requires a framework with institutions and rules to govern our body parts. Yet there is no settled framework. Much of the controversy over differing approaches stems from whether people should be able to sell body parts. Thus, each potential framework implicitly addresses the question of monetary value. While multiple possibilities exist, the predominant models are (1) property, most often meaning ownership that …


Violence, Fear, And Jason's Law: The Needless Expansion Of Social Control Over The Non-Dangerous Mentally Ill In Ohio, Jessica L. Mackeigan Jan 2008

Violence, Fear, And Jason's Law: The Needless Expansion Of Social Control Over The Non-Dangerous Mentally Ill In Ohio, Jessica L. Mackeigan

Cleveland State Law Review

Ohio House Bill 299, known as Jason's Law in memory of Officer Jason West, proposes involuntary outpatient care for treatment resistant mentally ill individuals. Jason's Law should not be enacted as written because it will compel respondents to adhere to outpatient treatment based upon predictions of future danger to self or others rather than findings of imminent danger or incompetence, it will remove treatment flexibility currently guaranteed by Ohio law by extending the duration of treatment and limiting a treatment provider's discretion, it will compel the use of unproven medication over the objections of a presumably competent individual without requiring …
