The Construction Of Health Care And The Ideology Of The Private In Canadian Constitutional Law, Hester Lessard

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Healthcare benefits are provided universally to all Canadians through a national healthcare system with provincial differences. A history of the manner in which healthcare issues have been understood in different historical and constitutional periods reveals the ever present inequalities in many aspects of healthcare delivery.

The Right To Health Care In The United States, Kenneth R. Wing

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

An analysis of the history of constitutional interpretation in the United States reveals that any right Americans have to health care is a political rather than constitutional right.

The Need For A Process Theory: Formulating Health Policy Through Adjudication, Margaret G. Farrell

Journal of Law and Health

This essay sets out a preliminary, theoretical framework within which to analyze remedial options and begin the search for the values they promote. It is based on the premise that the process used to enforce substantive rights to health care should promote values that are consistent with, and even supportive of, the values that health care reform itself would promote. The framework proceeds upon an analysis of the kinds of claims at issue, the alternative decision making models available to settle them, and the forums in which those models might be used. In conclusion, I urge scholars, policy makers and …

Control Of Tuberculosis -- The Law And The Public's Health, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

In their history of tuberculosis, The White Plague, Rene and Jean Dubos note that the first national movement to control tuberculosis in the United States came from the Medico-Legal Society of the City of New York, a group of lawyers, scientists, and physicians devoted to solving social problems. At a meeting in 1900 to organize an American Congress on Tuberculosis, the group drafted legislation designed to prevent the spread of the disease. Even though almost every state eventually passed tuberculosis-control laws, it was not the passage of legislation, or even the development of effective treatment, that led to the decline …

Religious Healing In The Courts: The Liberties And Liabilities Of Patients, Parents, And Healers, Barry Nobel

Seattle University Law Review

Accordingly, in light of this struggle to balance public health with religious liberty, this Article chronicles the evolving liberties and liabilities of religious patients, parents, and healers over the course of the twentieth century and examines the current state of religious healing law. Throughout, it advocates the greatest possible liberty for religious healing consistent with public and family security, as well as advocating equal protection under the law for all involved in religious treatment, whether they are members of organized religious groups or individual practitioners.

Approval Of Ru-486 As A Postcoital Contraceptive, Kari Hanson

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment argues that if RU-486 were approved as a postcoital contraceptive rather than as an abortifacient, the drug would be of greater overall benefit to women seeking to control their fertility. To support the argument that RU-486 should be approved as a postcoital contraceptive, Part II of this Comment examines the background and development of the drug, the controversy it has engendered, and the drug's recently discovered contraceptive potential. Part III provides a short look at the process by which the FDA approves new drugs and discusses how RU-486 would likely progress through this process. Part IV begins by …

Rethinking Wrongful Life: Bridging The Boundary Between Tort And Family Law, Philip G. Peters Jr.

Faculty Publications

Traditional tort law embraces an unduly narrow notion of corrective justice that fails to resolve wrongful life disputes satisfactorily. The unique circumstances associated with the creation of a new life bring into play another, broader paradigm of responsibility: one that resembles family law more than tort. From this perspective, children whose birth can be attributed to tortious conduct have a strong moral claim for supplemental child support whenever a tortfeasor's interference with the pro- creative rights of the parents foreseeably results in the birth of a child and that child's parents cannot provide adequate support. In such an instance, the …
