Doctors And Lawyers And Wolves, George J. Annas
Doctors And Lawyers And Wolves, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
Relations between lawyers and physicians, and therefore between law and medicine, are getting more and more destructive and counterproductive. It used to be a joke, but it's not funny anymore. We can't afford the continuing and escalating acrimony between our professions and it's time that we take constructive steps in the public interest to deal with it.
Predicting The Future Of Privacy In Pregnancy: How Medical Technology Affects The Legal Rights Of Pregnant Women, George J. Annas
Predicting The Future Of Privacy In Pregnancy: How Medical Technology Affects The Legal Rights Of Pregnant Women, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
The bodies of pregnant women are the battleground on which the campaign to define the right of privacy is fought. The ultimate outcome will likely be shaped at least as much by new medical technologies as by politics or moral persuasion. This is because medical technologies do much more than change what we can do: they can radically alter the way we think about ourselves. Technologies have the power to change "not only the relation of man to nature but of man to man."1 More than that, they can alter our very concept of what it means to be human, …

The Politics Of Transplantation Of Human Fetal Tissue, George J. Annas
The Politics Of Transplantation Of Human Fetal Tissue, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
Research involving human fetal tissue has been the subject of intense political debate in this country for almost two decades, and the use of fetal tissues in transplantation continues this controversy in another forum. Since Roe v. Wade ,1 the landmark decision on abortion by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973, the federal government has focused public attention on fetal research by creating panels of experts. "3 This conclusion was accepted on a vote of 15 to 2, and included recommendations that the decision to abort be kept independent of the decision to retrieve and use fetal tissue, that recipients …
