Principles For Protecting Privacy, Fred H. Cate Jan 2002

Principles For Protecting Privacy, Fred H. Cate

Articles by Maurer Faculty

This article addresses health privacy in the broader context of other areas of recent privacy activity, in an effort to discover what people should have learned in trying to identify those principles that should undergrid regulatory efforts to protect privacy. Increasingly, the dominant trend in recent and pending privacy legislation is to invest consumers with near absolute control over information in the marketplace. - irrespective of whether the information is, or could be, used to cause harm. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act privacy rules wholly ignore the concept of harm and the constitutional requirement of targeting restriction on …


Foreword: Phase Ii Of The Genetics Revolution: Sophisticated Issues For Home And Abroad, Frances H. Miller Jan 2002

Foreword: Phase Ii Of The Genetics Revolution: Sophisticated Issues For Home And Abroad, Frances H. Miller

Faculty Scholarship

The distinguished health law and policy scholars we invite to contribute to the American Journal of Law & Medicine's annual symposium issue are given carte blanche to write about any aspect of the designated topic that appeals to them. The authors in this year's genetics symposium, The Genetic Revolution: Conflicts, Challenges and Conundra, are already well known for their work in the field-in fact three of them have just co-authored the only casebook specifically dedicated to the law, policy and ethics of geneticsl-and we deliberately asked them for relatively short pieces on the theory that taken together their articles would …


The Nationalization Of Health Information Privacy Protections, Lawrence O. Gostin, James G. Hodge Jr., Lauren Marks Jan 2002

The Nationalization Of Health Information Privacy Protections, Lawrence O. Gostin, James G. Hodge Jr., Lauren Marks

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

In Part II, this article examines the justifications for implementing comprehensive national health information privacy regulations, including the personal nature of health information and the increasing threats to personal privacy from the shift to an electronic health information infrastructure. In doing so, it looks at historical attempts by federal and state officials to regulate the use and disclosure of personal health information, and concludes that prior standards have been largely inadequate. In Part III, this article explains the new national health information privacy regulations: (1) what do they cover?; (2) to whom do they apply?; (3) how do they safeguard …


Trust And Betrayal In The Medical Marketplace, Maxwell Gregg Bloche Jan 2002

Trust And Betrayal In The Medical Marketplace, Maxwell Gregg Bloche

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The author argues in this Comment that disingenuity as first resort is an unwise approach to the conflict between our ex ante and our later, illness-endangered selves. Not only does rationing by tacit deceit raise a host of moral problems, it will not work, over the long haul, because markets reward deceit's unmasking. The honesty about clinical limit-setting that some bioethicists urge may not be fully within our reach. But more candor is possible than we now achieve, and the more conscious we are about decisions to impose limits, the more inclined we will be to accept them without experiencing …

The Science, Law, And Politics Of Fetal Pain Legislation, Kevin C. Walsh Jan 2002

The Science, Law, And Politics Of Fetal Pain Legislation, Kevin C. Walsh

Scholarly Articles

Most people prefer not to inflict gratuitous pain on other sentient beings, especially other humans. What, then, should be the legal system's reaction to the mounting evidence that in late-term abortions doctors are inflicting just such pain on fetuses who have the anatomical, physiological, and neurological capacity to experience it? The pain being inflicted is gratuitous because it can be easily avoided with no significant increases in cost or health risk by the administration of tar geted fetal pain relief. If informed that an abortion is likely to cause pain to the fetus and given a choice between a procedure …
