Rx: Just What The Doctor Ordered: International Standards For Medical Devices, Mindy H. Chapman Jan 1994

Rx: Just What The Doctor Ordered: International Standards For Medical Devices, Mindy H. Chapman

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This Comment demonstrates why the FDA should amend its medical device regulations to emulate those of the European Community. There are two major benefits of a single set of international standards. First, a single set of international standards assures safe medical devices both in the United States and on the international market. Second, the United States will have a greater opportunity to export medical devices to the newly prosperous European Community resulting in greater financial returns and job opportunities for Americans.

Mengele's Birthmark: The Nuremberg Code In United States Courts, George J. Annas Jan 1991

Mengele's Birthmark: The Nuremberg Code In United States Courts, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

Experimentation on human beings is so difficult to justify that the attempt is seldom even made. Usually its justification is simply assumed, and vague notions of progress or national emergency are suggested as sufficient rationales. The United States, a society dedicated to both progress and human rights, has been profoundly ambivalent about human experimentation. On the one hand, we have consistently argued in our ethical codes that the rights and welfare of research subjects must be protected; on the other hand, we have consistently used perceived emergencies, both national and medical, as an excuse to jettison individual rights and welfare …

Socialized Medicine: An Analysis Of Bureaucratic Inefficiency, John J. Moran Jan 1989

Socialized Medicine: An Analysis Of Bureaucratic Inefficiency, John J. Moran

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

In analyzing the health care systems of Great Britain and Canada, this Comment examines the policies and reasons behind the passing of legislation which led to the advent of socialized medicine in these two nations. In addition, a discussion of the operation of these socialized health systems illustrates the turmoil and complexity associated with government medicine, and the need for subsequent legislative reforms. As this Comment reveals, these socialized systems, where overriding political objectives create further misallocation of resources and decreased quality of care, fail to provide a viable solution to American health concerns. Instead, reforms should be undertaken within …

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

Passion is a cogently structured, compel Jingly argued and seductively enthralling masterpiece which, in years to come, will undoubtedly stand out as an inspirational source for many who seek social transformation. Unger's style, in this essay at least, is lucid and inviting. Substantively, Passion demonstrates not only the depth of his penetrating intellect but also his command of an array of' disciplines. Unger's polymathy is all the more impressive when we remember that ours is an era in which idiosyncratic specialization is the norm.

Observations On The Insanity Defense And Involuntary Civil Commitment In Europe, John Q. La Fond Jan 1984

Observations On The Insanity Defense And Involuntary Civil Commitment In Europe, John Q. La Fond

Seattle University Law Review

There are several perspectives from which one could analyze the insanity defense and involuntary civil commitment in foreign legal systems. However, the comparative perspective on which this Essay is based focuses on: a) how foreign legal systems formulate and administer the insanity defense; b) how the power of the state is defined to civilly commit mentally ill persons; c) who makes the important decisions and when and how they are made; and d) what happens to offenders who are considered mentally ill and to others who are considered mentally ill and suitable for involuntary commitment.

International Control Of The Safety Of Nuclear-Powered Merchant Ships, William H. Berman, Lee M. Hydeman Dec 1960

International Control Of The Safety Of Nuclear-Powered Merchant Ships, William H. Berman, Lee M. Hydeman

Michigan Law Review

In recent years we have witnessed the transition of nuclear-powered ships from an imaginative dream to an engineering reality. This vast step from the drawing board to successful operation on the high-seas has taken place in a remarkably short span of time. Nevertheless, in the :flush of enthusiasm over the technological achievement, we must not lose sight of the fact that the promise of nuclear power for the propulsion of ships will not have been fulfilled until nuclear vessels are operating safely and economically over the maritime trade routes of the world. It would be unrealistic to assume that further …
