The State's Interest In The Preservation Of Life: From Quinlan To Cruzan, Philip G. Peters Jr. Jan 1989

The State's Interest In The Preservation Of Life: From Quinlan To Cruzan, Philip G. Peters Jr.

Faculty Publications

This article considers the kinds of limits on withholding that each of these policies might plausibly support, compares these limits to the judicial approaches taken in the refusal of treatment cases, and explores how apparent conflicts between these state goals and the interests of the patients might be resolved. Because this article focuses exclusively on the state's interests, however, it necessarily isolates and considers only one portion of a complex problem involving the interests of patients, families, providers, and others. No comprehensive examination of the nature and weight of the patient's interests or those of other involved parties is attempted. …

The Politics Of Aids: Compulsory State Powers, Public Health, And Civil Liberties, Lawrence O. Gostin Jan 1989

The Politics Of Aids: Compulsory State Powers, Public Health, And Civil Liberties, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This article argues that compulsory public powers are justified only if they meet the following criteria: there is a significant risk of transmission of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) virus; the public health response is efficacious in preventing a primary mode of transmission of the virus; the economic, practical, or human rights burdens are not disproportionate to the public health benefits; and the public health power is the least restrictive alternative that would prevent viral transmission.

The author carefully examines the levels of risk posed by behavior which can potentially transmit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and demonstrates that compulsory …


Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Health Care Law, Heman A. Marshall Iii Jan 1989

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Health Care Law, Heman A. Marshall Iii

University of Richmond Law Review

Health care law has proven to be a fertile ground for both legislative and judicial activity. The field covers a wide range of legal concerns including regulatory issues such as the Virginia Certificate of Public Need laws, hospital licensure statutes, antitrust issues as they relate to the activities of physicians, hospitals and other health care related institutions, as well as basic issues of contract and tort law. The recent year witnessed substantial legislative and judicial changes. This article discusses these changes as they affect hospitals, physicians and other participants in the health care industry in the Commonwealth of Virginia.


Privacy And Personhood Revisited: A New Framework For Substitute Decisionmaking For The Incompetent, Incurably Ill Adult, Linda C. Fentiman Jan 1989

Privacy And Personhood Revisited: A New Framework For Substitute Decisionmaking For The Incompetent, Incurably Ill Adult, Linda C. Fentiman

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This Article is thus an exploration of the essentials of the human personhood in community, both the intimate community of family and close friends and the larger, more impersonal community of hospitals and health care providers, courts, legislatures, and lawyers. After undertaking an analysis of the sources of the autonomy model for decisionmaking in this area and the negative consequences of an exclusive reliance on that model, this Article will propose a new moral, legal, and medical framework for making medical treatment decisions for incompetent incurably ill adults. This model both provides maximum opportunities for each individual to determine for …

A Proposal To Protect Injured Workers From Employers' Shield Of Immunity., Catherine A. Hale Jan 1989

A Proposal To Protect Injured Workers From Employers' Shield Of Immunity., Catherine A. Hale

St. Mary's Law Journal

The current workers’ compensation system shields negligent employers from liability and fails to encourage compliance with safety standards. A practical solution is to broaden the judicial definition of intentional conduct and reinstate a common-law negligence action in workers’ compensation statutes. The Texas Workers’ Compensation Act awards compensation to employees for accidental injuries sustained in the course of employment. The Act bars an employee who accepts these benefits from bringing a common-law suit for damages against the employer. The exclusive nature of the workers’ compensation remedy thus leaves employers immune from common-law negligence actions by employees who accept the plan. An …


Quality-Control Regulation Of Home Health Care, Sandra H. Johnson Jan 1989

Quality-Control Regulation Of Home Health Care, Sandra H. Johnson

All Faculty Scholarship

This article examines the comparability of nursing homes and home health care with respect to the quality-control effects of private litigation and state licensure. It explains that the false assumption of broad comparability between nursing homes and home health care could hamper effective regulation of quality in the delivery of home health care.

This article has two main sections, the first of which compares nursing homes and home health care in the context of private litigation. Points of comparison in the litigation context include the barriers to private litigation in long-term care, issues in institutional liability, applicable standards of care, …

Active Voluntary Euthanasia: The Ultimate Act Of Care For The Dying, Deborah A. Wainey Jan 1989

Active Voluntary Euthanasia: The Ultimate Act Of Care For The Dying, Deborah A. Wainey

Cleveland State Law Review

This Note explores whether modern society can embrace the concept of euthanasia as "death without suffering" to the full extent of the term. Section II explores the distortion of the concept of euthanasia from an historical perspective. Section III provides insight into the practice of euthanasia in the Netherlands, the only country in the world which allows people to request and receive aid-in-dying, i.e., active euthanasia. Section IV reviews the American judicial and legislative response to the active euthanasia issue, and analyzes the Death With Dignity Act, a model law which would permit a terminally ill adult to request and …
