Social Justice, Civil Rights, And Bioethics, Kathy Cerminara
Faculty Scholarship
A stunning confluence of events in the United States in the first few months of 2020 have illustrated pervasive systemic prejudice against vulnerable people resulting in increased risk of death. Combined and situated among other, similar incidents too numerous to mention here, they present an opportunity for bioethicists to help change the impact of implicit bias, white privilege, and prejudice in shaping the very ability to live a healthy life in America. The current lack of care and even outright cruelty rendering a variety of vulnerable populations susceptible to early death illustrate why there must be more attention paid to …

Schiavo Revisited? The Struggle For Autonomy At The End Of Life In Italy, Kathy L. Cerminara
Faculty Scholarship
Kathy Cerminara, Schiavo Revisited? The Struggle for Autonomy at the End of Life in Italy, 12 Marquette University Elder's Advisor 295 (2011). Politically strident debates surrounding end-of-life decisionmaking have surfaced once again, this time across the Atlantic in Italy. Eluana Englaro died early this year after a prolonged court fight, causing the international press to compare her case to that of Theresa Marie Schiavo, who passed away in 2005 in Florida after nearly sparking constitutional crises on both state and federal levels. In many respects, the facts of Ms. Englaro’s case are similar to Schiavo, but a close analysis …

La Caja De Pandora: Improving Access To Hospice Care Among Hispanic And African-American Patients, Kathy L. Cerminara, Alina M. Perez
Faculty Scholarship

As a result, many terminally ill patients access the services late, sometimes a few hours before death. Scholars have proposed that …

Collateral Damage: The Aftermath Of The Political Culture Wars In Schiavo, Kathy L. Cerminara
Faculty Scholarship
Kathy Cerminara, Collateral Damage: The Aftermath of the Political Culture Wars in Schiavo, 29 Western New England Law Review 279 (2007). Theresa Marie Schiavo died a celebrity at the age of 42 in Pinellas Park, Florida, in early 2005. She never sought the public spotlight; she never even knew she was a celebrity. She became a celebrity, one of the best-known figures in bioethics, because of politics. This Article examines the politics surrounding her death and draws some conclusions about the aftermath for those left behind in the America Ms. Schiavo departed. The lessons of Schiavo are mixed. It …
