Multilateralism, Pushback, And Prospects For Global Engagement?, Michael Donald Kirby The Honourable
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
In this article, the author draws on long engagement with multilateralism, both in domestic jurisdiction and international institutions. He describes the growth of post-War United Nations activities and the increasing impact of international law, including on universal human rights. He records international initiatives on global problems like HI V/AIDS and in individual countries, such as Cambodia and North Korea. He then describes recent examples of '"pushback" against multilateralism, especially on the part of the United States, the United Kingdom, some European countries, and Australia. He concludes with illustrations and reasons why the global community should remain optimistic about multilateralism, despite …
Addressing Transplant Tourism Problems And Proposed Solutions: Regulation Instead Of Prohibition, Colleen Naumovich
Addressing Transplant Tourism Problems And Proposed Solutions: Regulation Instead Of Prohibition, Colleen Naumovich
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Medical tourism, as defined by scholar Glenn Cohen, is "the travel of residents of one country to another country for treatment."' Transplant tourism, a type of medical tourism, is traveling abroad to purchase an organ for transplant. Although organ sale is currently illegal in every country except Iran, many countries-such as India, the Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Egypt-have thriving black markets for these goods. Organ transplants are often the only effective means of treating end state organ failure, and the demand for transplants is especially high in developed and middle-income countries. Shortages of available donors and organs, however, have caused …
Passport To Plastics: Cosmetic Surgery Tourism, Medical Malpractice, And The Automatic Establishment Of Personal Jurisdiction By Way Of The Joint Commission International, Elizabeth Astrup
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
For centuries, tourists have visited lands near and far in search of experiences unavailable in their home countries. From golfing the best courses in the world, to yoga retreats in remote locations, many tourist activities provide experiential opportunities along with health and wellness benefits. Currently, an increasing number of individuals are opting to cross international borders to receive medical treatments, often at reduced costs. While many scholars use the term health tourism to encompass all health and wellness travel purposes, this note uses the term medical tourism to distinguish tourism for the specific purpose of medical treatments or procedures.

Healthcare Licensing And Liability, Benjamin Mcmichael
Healthcare Licensing And Liability, Benjamin Mcmichael
Indiana Law Journal
The United States’ affordable care crisis and chronic physician shortage have
required advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and physician assistants
(PAs) to assume increasingly important roles in the healthcare system. The increased
use of these nonphysician providers has improved access to healthcare and lowered
the price of care. However, restrictive occupational licensing laws—specifically,
scope-of-practice laws—have limited their ability to care for patients. While these
laws, by themselves, have important implications for the healthcare system, they also
interact with other legal regimes to impact the provision of care. Restrictive scopeof-
practice laws can increase the malpractice liability risk of physicians and …
Saving Money On Health Insurance Just Got A Lot Easier . . . Or Did It?: The Preserving Employee Wellness Programs Act And Its Impact On The Future Of Employee Health, Zachary Maciejewski
Saving Money On Health Insurance Just Got A Lot Easier . . . Or Did It?: The Preserving Employee Wellness Programs Act And Its Impact On The Future Of Employee Health, Zachary Maciejewski
Indiana Law Journal
This Note addresses the growing use of employer-sponsored wellness programs in the American workplace and the concomitant harms and risks these programs impose on employee privacy and insurance costs. Specifically, this Note analyzes the Preserving Employee Wellness Programs Act (PEWPA)—a proposed law that would allow employers to require employees to disclose genetic information to qualify for an employer-sponsored wellness program (and the program’s associated insurance premium benefits). This Note ultimately argues that employees and employee advocacy groups must work to thwart PEWPA to preserve employee privacy in the face of mounting corporate pressure to alter the structure of employer-sponsored health …
