Thalidomide And The Titanic: Reconstructing The Technology Tragedies Of The Twentieth Century, George J. Annas Jan 1999

Thalidomide And The Titanic: Reconstructing The Technology Tragedies Of The Twentieth Century, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

The Titanic has become a metaphor for the disastrous consequences of an unqualified belief in the safety and invincibility of new technology. Similarly, the thalidomide tragedy stands for all of the "monsters" that can be inadvertently or negligently created by modern medicine. Thalidomide, once banned, has returned to the center of controversy with the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) announcement that thalidomide will be placed on the market for the treatment of erythema nodosum leprosum, a severe dermatological complication of Hansen's disease. Although this indication is very restricted, thalidomide will be available for off-label uses once it is on the …

A False Start?: The Impact Of Federal Policy On The Genotechnology Industry, Michael J. Malinowski, Maureen A. O'Rourke Jan 1996

A False Start?: The Impact Of Federal Policy On The Genotechnology Industry, Michael J. Malinowski, Maureen A. O'Rourke

Faculty Scholarship

Important scientific discoveries in the field of human genetics have been reported in the nation's major newspapers since the beginning of the decade, and these discoveries have given rise to a multi-billion dollar industry. Mr. Malinowski and Professor O'Rourke explore the impact of federal policy on the field and the resulting industry. They argue that federal policy in support of genetics research and development has not been followed by the introduction of regulatory and health policy necessary for the efficient and responsible commercialization of the industiy's products. As a consequence, Mr. Malinowski and Professor O'Rourke suggest, federal policy may have …


The Changing Landscape Of Human Experimentation: Nuremberg, Helsinki, And Beyond, George J. Annas Jan 1992

The Changing Landscape Of Human Experimentation: Nuremberg, Helsinki, And Beyond, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

Since World War II there have been persistent efforts at both the national and international level to develop rules to protect the rights and welfare of subjects of human experimentation.' These efforts have focused primarily on codifying the rights of subjects, and protecting their welfare by prior peer review of research protocols. In recent years research regulations have been under attack by politicians, drug companies, researchers, and advocacy groups. In less than half a century, human experimentation has been transformed from a suspect activity into a presumptively beneficial activity. With this transformation, traditional distinctions between experimentation and therapy, subject and …

Charleston Policy: Substance Or Abuse, The , Kimani Paul-Emile Jan 1989

Charleston Policy: Substance Or Abuse, The , Kimani Paul-Emile

Faculty Scholarship

In 1989, the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) adopted a policy that, according to subjective criteria, singled out for drug testing, certain women who sought prenatal care and childbirth services would be tested for prohibited substances. Women who tested positive were arrested, incarcerated and prosecuted for crimes ranging from misdemeanor substance possession to felony substance distribution to a minor. In this Article, the Author argues that by intentionally targeting indigent Black women for prosecution, the MUSC Policy continued the United States legacy of their systematic oppression and resulted in the criminalizing of Black Motherhood.


Drug Product Liability And Health Care Delivery Systems, William M. Sage Apr 1988

Drug Product Liability And Health Care Delivery Systems, William M. Sage

Faculty Scholarship

This note will use the principles of law and economics to examine the interaction of market structures and product liability rules in a world of imperfect information. The goals of the analysis are to create incentives for optimal care by producers and consumers, induce the socially appropriate amount of consumption of each product (often referred to as the "activity level"), and minimize the costs of bearing the risk of injury. The note will conclude that the existence of health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and similar prepaid providers with superior information capacity and total patient care responsibility may create a context in …

Charting The Future Course For Corporate Management Of Health Risks, Michael S. Baram Oct 1984

Charting The Future Course For Corporate Management Of Health Risks, Michael S. Baram

Faculty Scholarship

Corporations engage in technological activities of benefit to society, but thereby also create new health risks for workers, consumers, and communities. Government regulatory agencies deal with this chronic problem by conducting risk analyses and imposing various duties on private firms. Despite agency efforts and corporate compliance, health risks continue to arise and take their toll. To what extent will private firms voluntarily assume greater responsibility for preventing these health risks? This question is of increasing social importance, because the limitations of regulatory efforts are now obvious, whereas health risks are now being identified at what appears to be an increasing …
