Scientific Research With Children: Legal Incapacity And Proxy Consent, Leonard H. Glantz, George J. Annas, Barbara Katz
Scientific Research With Children: Legal Incapacity And Proxy Consent, Leonard H. Glantz, George J. Annas, Barbara Katz
Faculty Scholarship
Before an investigator can use any person as a subject in biomedical or behavioral research, he must obtain that person's informed consent. This consent must be voluntary, competent, and understanding.1 There are two questions that arise in regard to experimentation on children. First, is a child legally capable of giving an informed and understanding consent? Second, do parents have the legal capacity to consent to the performance of research on their children? This article will attempt to answer both of these questions.

The rapid growth of medical technology gives rise to difficult dilemmas concerning the appropriateness of, and access to, new equipment and devices capable of maintaining life or improving its quality. Such a dilemma already exists, for example, with regard to kidney dialysis machines. In 1972, Congress amended the Social Security Act to make such machines available under Medicare to all who needed them. But almost immediately the overwhelming cost of such equipment-in the billions of dollars-made the original appropriations totally inadequate, and prompted serious questions of whether access to kidney dialysis should be made available at public expense-and, if so, …

When You Enter The Hospital Check Your Rights At The Door, George J. Annas
When You Enter The Hospital Check Your Rights At The Door, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
Civil libertarians have little difficulty appreciating the plight of prisoners or mental patients. But tell the average civil libertarian that there are significant and unnecessary restrictions on the individual rights and liberties of patients in general hospitals, and you are likely to encounter a blank stare. There are a number of reasons for this lack of attention to hospitals. One is the general misconception that the problems are minor, or that certain temporary restrictions on individuals are essential if hospitals are to treat sick people properly. An unconscious desire not to perceive ourselves as being at risk may be another …

Medical Malpractice Litigation Under National Health Insurance: Essential Or Expendable, George J. Annas, Barbara F. Katz, Robert G. Trakimas

"Medical malpractice" denotes the basis for a civil action brought by a patient against a physician for injuries resulting from negligence. The current method for compensating victims of these occurrences is primarily a fault-and-liability insurance system. The first principle of tort liability is that the party at fault pays for the damage inflicted upon an innocent victim. Whether a doctor is at fault is determined in an adversary proceeding, with both the doctor and the patient represented by counsel. The triers of fact have the task of ascertaining whether the defendant was at fault, and if so, what compensation he …

As Western man approaches the last quarter of the twentieth century, he is developing the power to control the forces of nature. Few areas of human behavior have not been affected by new technologies. In health care, progress has been dramatic in such areas as the determination of prenatal genetic defects through amniocentesis, asexual reproduction through artificial insemination, the use of an artificial placenta, cloning,artifical modification of man-especially through transplantation, ' modification of human behavior through psychosurgery and chemotherapy,' and the mechanical postponement of death. No aspect of health care has escaped the impact of technology.
Medical Remedies And Human Rights: Why Civil Rights Lawyers Must Become Involved In Medical Decision-Making, George J. Annas
Medical Remedies And Human Rights: Why Civil Rights Lawyers Must Become Involved In Medical Decision-Making, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
As recently as the turn of the century a random patient meeting a random physician had less than a 50:50 chance of benefiting from the encounter. Physicians were just beginning to emerge from the era when they were essentially tradesmen, often with little more to offer their patients than comfort and company during illness and death. The principal causes of mortality were the infectious diseases against which the medical community stood impotent. There were few medical schools, few diagnostic tests, no specific treatment of disease, and no specialization of physicians. In the words of former AMA president Dwight L. Wilbur, …
