Orthodoxy And 'The Other Man's Doxy': Medical Licensing And Medical Freedom In The Gilded Age, Lewis Grossman Jan 2015

Orthodoxy And 'The Other Man's Doxy': Medical Licensing And Medical Freedom In The Gilded Age, Lewis Grossman

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

This is a draft of Chapter Two of my book-in-progress under contract with Oxford University Press titled You Can Choose Your Medicine: Freedom of Therapeutic Choice in American History and Law. This chapter shows how freedom of therapeutic choice remained an influential theme in American policy and thought in the Gilded Age. Despite the almost universal restoration of medical licensing after the Civil War, the new licensing regimes were drafted and enforced in ways that protected the rights of practitioners and patients of nonorthodox schools of medicine. This chapter starts by briefly describing the main alternative medical sects during the …


Adventures In Nannydom: Reclaiming Collective Action For The Public's Health, Lindsay Wiley, Wendy E. Parmet, Peter D. Jacobson Jan 2015

Adventures In Nannydom: Reclaiming Collective Action For The Public's Health, Lindsay Wiley, Wendy E. Parmet, Peter D. Jacobson

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Deregulation, Distrust, And Democracy, Lindsay Wiley

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Environmental, public health, alternative food, and food justice advocates are working together to achieve incremental agricultural subsidy and nutrition assistance reforms that increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables. When it comes to targeting food and beverage products for increased regulation and decreased consumption, however, the priorities of various food reform movements diverge. This article argues that foundational legal issues, including preemption of state and local authority to protect the public's health and welfare, increasing First Amendment protection for commercial speech, and eroding judicial deference to legislative policy judgments, present a more promising avenue for collaboration across movements than discrete …

The Illusion Of Autonomy In Women's Medical Decision-Making, Jamie Abrams Oct 2014

The Illusion Of Autonomy In Women's Medical Decision-Making, Jamie Abrams

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

This article considers why there is not more conflict between women and their doctors in obstetric decision-making. While patients in every other medical context have complete autonomy to refuse treatment against medical advice, elect high-risk courses of action, and prioritize their own interests above any other decision-making metric, childbirth is viewed anomalously because of the duty to the fetus that the state and the doctor owe at birth. Many feminist scholars have analyzed the complex resolution of these conflicts when they arise, particularly when the state threatens to intervene to override the birthing woman’s autonomy. This article instead considers the …
