Bioethics And The Family: The Cautionary View From Family Law, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

For many years, the field of bioethics has been specially concerned with how the authority to make medical decisions should be allocated between doctor and patient. Today the patient's power-indeed, the patient's right-is widely acknowledged, at least in principle. But this development can hardly be the last word in our thinking about how medical decisions should be made. For one thing, sometimes patients cannot speak for themselves. For another, patients· make medical decisions in contexts that significantly include more participants than just the patient and doctor. Now, as this conference demonstrates, bioethics is beginning to ask what role the patient's …

Cumulative Trauma Disorders: Osha's General Duty Clause And The Need For An Ergonomics Standard, David J. Kolesar

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that neither the Act nor its underlying policies supports OSHA's current use of the general duty clause to prosecute alleged ergonomics violations and that the only way to protect workers from CTDs fairly and effectively is through the promulgation of an ergonomics standard. Part I examines the purposes of the Act, as well as the function of the Act's general duty clause. Part II analyzes the four requirements of the general duty clause in the context of CTDs and finds that the clause does not apply to CTDs. Part III argues that the Act's intended policies support …

The Pariah Patient: The Lack Of Funding For Mental Health Care, Wayne E. Ramage

Vanderbilt Law Review

In all the furor over the provision of health care in the United States-especially over who will pay for the skyrocketing costs of medical treatment-one class of patient appears to have been overlooked: the mentally ill. This oversight is not new; Anglo-American society historically has viewed the mentally ill as outsiders. In England, for example, inmates at the infamous "Bedlam" hospital for the insane often were displayed for the amusement of the paying public.' Society's disdain of the mentally ill still exists and has led to public neglect of these unfortunates, especially in the provision of mental health care.

The Oregon Basic Health Services Act: A Model For State Reform?, Eric L. Robinson

Vanderbilt Law Review

Americans currently spend $733 billion, or 12.3 percent of the Gross National Product (GNP), per year on health care. This is nearly twice what Americans spent on health care just seven years ago. Health care is also one of the fastest growing major items in the federal and state budgets. Not surprisingly, governments, businesses, and individuals all are having difficulty finding resources to meet the increasing costs of health care. As a result, the health care delivery system has cut costs by denying some people access to adequate health, care services. Currently, an estimated thirty-seven million Americans are uninsured. In …

Introduction: Caring For The Nation--Current Issues In Health Care Reform, Susan E. Powley

Vanderbilt Law Review

Health care reform is once again on the "front burner" of American politics. With health care costs in the United States rising at three times the rate of inflation and an increasing portion of the population falling through the cracks of the current health care delivery system,' legislators, health care professionals, and the population at large now have little difficulty agreeing that the system is badly in need of reform. This consensus, however, falls apart when discussion turns to what needs to be fixed and how to fix it. Federal legislators currently have over twenty health bills pending before them, …

The Disfranchisement Of Fertile Women In Clinical Trials: The Legal Ramifications Of And Solutions For Rectifying The Knowledge Gap, L. Elizabeth Bowles

Vanderbilt Law Review

Twice as many women as men receive treatment for clinical depression, yet men benefit more than women from antidepressant drug treatment. Likewise, women use more prescription drugs than men, but suffer proportionally more side effects.' Such disparities stem from the traditional attitude of pharmaceutical companies and researchers to- ward the use of women in clinical trials. In general, researchers have tested drugs on young white males without regard for gender differences, often assuming that data extrapolated from studies on males are readily applicable to females. Even medical treatments designed exclusively for women are developed and tested based on a male …

Screening And Treatment Of Newborns, Ellen Wright Clayton

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

With the advent of new genetic technologies and the Human Genome Initiative, interest in the problems posed by genetic diagnostics in general, and by genetic screening in particular, has surfaced. Many recent works focus on the problems posed by the "new genetics" in the contexts of prenatal diagnosis, carrier detection, employment, and insurance. In the midst of all this discussion, the routine testing of newborns for genetic disorders seems relatively uncomplicated and has, in fact, become "a part of common practice and accepted public policy with little thought having been given to the implications." The relative lack of concern about …
