Book Review: Body Banking From The Bench To The Bedside, Natalie Ram
Book Review: Body Banking From The Bench To The Bedside, Natalie Ram
All Faculty Scholarship
How much is a kidney worth? An ounce of breast milk? Genetic material from an individual facing a Parkinson's diagnosis? In today's America, it depends on who is selling. One might think that such body products are beyond value or that their value depends on the individual characteristics of the supplier. But under existing American law and practices, what matters more is whether the seller is also the supplier of that body product, or whether the seller is another entity, such as a pharmaceutical company, hospital, or biobanker.
The Politics Of Medicaid, Nicole Huberfeld
The Politics Of Medicaid, Nicole Huberfeld
Faculty Scholarship
Medicaid is the word on everyone's lips, not only because of the budgetary crisis many states are suffering, but also because the Supreme Court will decide two major cases regarding Medicaid this term, each of which has the potential to significantly alter the course of this long-standing safety net as well as the constitutional principles undergirding the program. Medicaid is a federal program that was intended to mainstream the very poor into the healthcare system by providing states with matching federal funds for particular expenditures on and provision of medical care. Without Medicaid, tens of millions of Americans would be …

Reviews In Medical Ethics: Stumbling On Options: A Review Of Readings In Comparative Health Law & Ethics, Frances H. Miller
Faculty Scholarship
Thanks to a series of storms sweeping up the eastern seaboard for three days, I found myself with four fivehour flight delays and two completely unrelated books in my briefcase. One of the books was the second edition of Professor Tim Jost's Readings in Comparative Health Law & Ethics,' which I was reviewing for this publication. The second was Daniel Gilbert's Stumbling on Happiness,2 which someone - no doubt thinking I could use a little wisdom on the subject - had given me for my birthday. I did not mind the delays, for they gave me time …
Why Don’T Doctors & Lawyers (Strangers In The Night) Get Their Act Together?, Frances H. Miller
Why Don’T Doctors & Lawyers (Strangers In The Night) Get Their Act Together?, Frances H. Miller
Faculty Scholarship
Health care in America is an expensive, complicated, inefficient, tangled mess – everybody says so. Patients decry its complexity, health care executives bemoan its lack of coherence, physicians plead for universal coverage to simplify their lives so they can just get on with taking care of patients, and everyone complains about health care costs. The best health care in the world is theoretically available here, but we deliver and pay for it in some of the world’s worst ways. Occam’s razor (“Among competing hypotheses, favor the simplest one”) is of little help here. There are no simple hypotheses – everything …

Liberalism And Abortion, Robin West
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
First in a groundbreaking book, Breaking the Abortion Deadlock: From Choice to Consent, published in 1996, then in various public fora, from academic conference panels to Christian radio call-in shows, and now in a major law review article entitled My Body, My Consent: Securing the Constitutional Right to Abortion Funding, Eileen McDonagh has sought to redefine drastically our understanding of the still deeply contested right to an abortion, and hence, of the nature of the constitutional protections which in her view this embattled right deserves. Her argument is complicated and subtle, but its basic thrust can be readily …
