Keeping Bad Science Out Of The Courtroom: Why Post-Daubert Courts Are Correct In Excluding Opinions Based On Animal Studies From Birth-Defects Cases, Dije Ndreu
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Comment argues that courts should keep animal studies out of the courtroom in birth-defects toxic-torts cases. This will not only result in proper exclusion of unreliable evidence, but will also lead to valuable resources being directed to more worthy alternative tests, ultimately reducing human and animal suffering as birth defects are eradicated. Part I sets forth the evidentiary standards used to determine the admissibility of evidence and then presents background information on birth defects and how they are studied. It also discusses the problems inherent with animal tests and the contrasting value of human data. Part II explores the …

Ewing V. Goldstein And The Therapist's Duty To Warn In California, Gwynneth F. Smith
Golden Gate University Law Review
Part I of this Note reviews California law concerning the treatment of potentially dangerous patients, including both the duty to warn and the civil commitment process.s Part II examines the impact of the Ewing decision on the therapist's duty to warn. Part III proposes the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act ("LPS Act") as a suitable framework for dealing with potentially dangerous patients that, if used correctly, obviates the need to expand the triggering criteria for the duty to warn and circumvents the negative ramifications of the Ewing decision. The Note concludes that this framework provides a superior compromise, better protecting both patient confidentiality …

Approval Of New Pharmacogenomic Tests: Is The Canadian Regulatory Process Adequate?, Yann Joly, Emma Ramos-Paque
Canadian Journal of Law and Technology
In the first part of our analysis, we will examine the impact which pharmacogenomics is expected to have on drug research and development, on the drug approval process and on post-marketing surveillance and clinical practice. This will allow us to show how pharmacogenomic testing could be beneficial to drug companies, regulatory bodies, and patients. The second part of our analysis will focus on the regulatory framework applicable to the approval of pharmacoge- nomic tests in Canada, although we are aware of the fact that most manufacturers decide to approve their tests outside of Canada. As mentioned, the applicable regu- lations …

Golden Gate University Law Review

Part III analyzes the drug manufacturers' and FDA's defenses to state tort claims, specifically preemption and primary jurisdiction. Part IV discusses the current law as it applies to the …

Renewed Compassion For The Dying In Compassion In Dying V. State Of Washington, Cara Elkin
Golden Gate University Law Review
In Compassion In Dying v. State of Washington, three patients, five physicians, and a non-profit organization called Compassion in Dying challenged the constitutionality of a Washington State statute which bans all assisted suicide, including physician-assisted death requested by terminally ill, mentally competent adults. The district court held the statute unconstitutional for violating the patient-plaintiffs' Fourteenth Amendment liberty interests and equal protection rights." A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit held that no constitutional right to die exists under either the Due Process or Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Ninth Circuit granted review …

X Marks The Spot While Casey Strikes Out: Two Controversial Abortion Decisions, Sabina Zenkich
X Marks The Spot While Casey Strikes Out: Two Controversial Abortion Decisions, Sabina Zenkich
Golden Gate University Law Review
This article studies and defines abortion law in Ireland after X and in the United States after Casey. It addresses how these decisions affect Irish and American women's rights, respectively, to secure an abortion. It also scrutinizes the justices' opinions and criticizes the reasoning for their holdings. This article argues that both Courts changed their nations' straightforward abortion laws to reach decisions that the courts felt would be more palatable to their respective political constituencies and satisfy their own subjective beliefs. On the one hand, the Irish court declined to abide by the traditionally conservative position denying abortion rights as …

Golden Gate University Law Review
This article will explore why pregnant women with HIV disease have become the focus of some of the most deeply-rooted value judgments about women and HIV, and how certain governmental policies, including state statutes, and local medical practices by hospitals, doctors and health clinics, raise reproductive freedom issues for pregnant women and women of childbearing age in the context of AIDS and HIV infection. Part I discusses the overall demographic picture of women with HIV disease, particularly as it relates to the interconnection between substance abuse and the transmission of HIV disease to women, and its affect on the numbers …
Love V. Superior Court: Mandatory Aids Testing And Prostitution, Karin Zink
Love V. Superior Court: Mandatory Aids Testing And Prostitution, Karin Zink
Golden Gate University Law Review
The AIDS epidemic has brought one of our most fundamental constitutional rights into sharp focus in California. The relationship between the Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures and the government's ability to mandate AIDS testing was the topic of a recent California case, Love v. Superior Court. In a unanimous decision the California Court of Appeal upheld section 1202.6 of the California Penal Code [hereinafter § 1202.6] mandating AIDS testing of persons convicted of soliciting an act of prostitution. The court held that the California law does not violate the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable …
In Vitro Fertilization Through Egg Donation: A Prospective View Of Legal Issues, James M. Treppa
In Vitro Fertilization Through Egg Donation: A Prospective View Of Legal Issues, James M. Treppa
Golden Gate University Law Review
As reproductive techniques continue to advance, many legal and ethical questions surrounding the use of some of these techniques remain unanswered. One such technique is IVF through the use of egg/oocyte donation. The lack of legal or statutory parameters regarding the use of IVF egg donation is a direct consequence of judicial and legislative failure to promulgate guidelines regarding noncoital reproduction. As many judges continue to point to legislators for guidance, proposed bills stagnate at the hearing stage.

Searching For Proper Judicial Recognition Of Hospital Ethics Committees In Decisions To Forego Medical Treatment, Carol A. Murphy
Golden Gate University Law Review
The issue of withdrawing or withholding life-sustaining medical treatment arises with increasing regularity in the United States, prompted by a growing elderly population and constant technological advances. A Hospital Ethics Committee (HEC) may be utilized to assist in making treatment decisions for incompetent patients, but there is inconsistency in the deference given to HECs by courts. Neither federal nor state statutes have addressed the proper role of HECs in health care decisionmaking, and common law on the subject is conflicting. This comment will explore the levels of judicial scrutiny applied to HEC decisions regarding life-sustaining medical treatment and explore the …

The efforts of the nursing profession to overcome the effects of the …
Civil Remedies For Therapist-Patient Sexual Exploitation, Laurie A. Morin
Civil Remedies For Therapist-Patient Sexual Exploitation, Laurie A. Morin
Golden Gate University Law Review
This article explores the clinical and legal issues raised in civil actions brought by patients against their therapists for sexual exploitation. Section II provides an overview of the various substantive theories of liability and defenses, as well as special procedural difficulties and problems of proof in sexual abuse cases. It suggests that the "consent" defense is an inappropriate analytical framework in a malpractice action based upon therapist sexual exploitation. The real dispute should center around the parameters of a therapist's duty to his patient outside of the formal therapeutic setting. Section III examines the statute of limitations problem, and suggests …

Elizabeth Bouvia V. Riverside Hospital: Suicide, Euthanasia, Murder: The Line Blurs, Belinda Stradley
Golden Gate University Law Review

Antipsychotic Drugs: Regulating Their Use In The Private Practice Of Medicine, Andrew Goode
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Comment will address the problems of antipsychotic drug usage in two areas in which the private practice of psychiatry is involved: nursing homes and board and care homes. Although each of these areas present an entirely different set of problems, and concern different age groups, they both serve functions which had traditionally been that of the state hospitals before deinstitutionalization - treating the chronic mentally ill. Before considering the use of antipsychotic medication in nursing homes and board and care homes, the risk of side effects as a result of these drugs will be examined. It will be shown …

Golden Gate University Law Review
