Laetrile: The Battle Moves Into The Courtroom, Robert L. Schwartz Jan 1979

Laetrile: The Battle Moves Into The Courtroom, Robert L. Schwartz

Faculty Scholarship

Controversy over the supposed cancer-curing drug laetrile continues to rage. Now it's up to the courts. substance that was used by ancient Greek physicians, has been available in the United States, legally or illegally, for a quarter of a century. The government's increased efforts to eliminate laetrile "pushing" by what are seen to be profiteering physicians has created a strengthened laetrile lobby that has successfully fought the medical establishment and succeeded in making the drug legal in more than a dozen states. The pro-laetrile lobby an assortment of cancer patients and their families, medical professionals, and conservative politicians -threatens to …

Outpatient Mental Health Care Services - A Minor's Right, John V. Cogbill Iii Jan 1979

Outpatient Mental Health Care Services - A Minor's Right, John V. Cogbill Iii

University of Richmond Law Review

The 1979 Session of the General Assembly made important changes in Title 54 of the Code of Virginia pertaining to health care for minors. One of the principal changes involved the right of unemancipated minors to seek outpatient treatment for mental health problems without the consent of their parents. Additionally, lawmakers deleted the criminal sanctions imposed against medical practitioners who performed authorized abortions on consenting minors. This bill appears to bring into Virginia a partial realization of a child's right to due process and equal protection under the law.

Virginia Abolishes Locality Rule In Medical Malpractice, John Y. Richardson Jr. Jan 1979

Virginia Abolishes Locality Rule In Medical Malpractice, John Y. Richardson Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

The Virginia General Assembly, in recognition of a modem medical society, has abolished the presumption which favors the application of a "same or similar" locale standard to determine the requisite care of a health care provider. The "same or similar" standard has been used consistently since 1918 in malpractice litigation and, more recently, in proceedings before the medical malpractice review panels in Virginia. This standard was first adopted by statute in 1977, and though it appeared to intend a broader standard than the local standard, it was in fact interpreted as a clear statutory adoption of the Virginia case law …


Reconciling Quinlan And Saikewicz: Decision Making For The Terminally Ill Incompetent, George J. Annas Jan 1979

Reconciling Quinlan And Saikewicz: Decision Making For The Terminally Ill Incompetent, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

One of the most perplexing problems in the medicolegal field concerns the criteria on which decisions not to treat terminally ill incompetent patients should be made. These decisions traditionally have been made by physicians in hospitals-sometimes with the assistance of the patient's family-on the basis of their perceptions of the patient's "best interests." Recently, two state supreme courts have ruled on this question. The New Jersey Supreme Court, in the Quinlan case, developed a medical prognosis criterion, and permitted the patient's guardian, family, and physicians to apply it with the concurrence of a hospital "ethics committee." The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial …

Where Are The Health Lawyers When We Need Them, George J. Annas Jul 1978

Where Are The Health Lawyers When We Need Them, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

A momentous event in the field of health law occurred in April of 1978: the first national meeting of teachers of health law was held at Boston University. Of sixty individuals invited, almost all of whom teach health law as a full-time profession in various graduate schools, forty-five participated in the two-day workshop. While that response alone may have revealed the answer, the first topic on the agenda was: "Is health law a discipline?"


Father And Mother Know Best: Defining The Liability Of Physicians For Inadequate Genetic Counseling, Ellen Wright Clayton Jun 1978

Father And Mother Know Best: Defining The Liability Of Physicians For Inadequate Genetic Counseling, Ellen Wright Clayton

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Although genetic disorders have been recognized for centuries, recent advances in the study of human genetics often permit accurate determination of the risk that parents will have genetically defective children.' When this information is available either before conception or during pregnancy, prospective parents may choose to prevent the birth of such defective children through contraception or abortion. Recently, courts have been called on to define the circumstances in which either the parents or the children should receive tort damages when parents are denied opportunities to prevent the birth of defective children because of their physicians' negligent failure to detect or …

Judges At The Bedside: The Case Of Joseph Saikewicz, George J. Annas Apr 1978

Judges At The Bedside: The Case Of Joseph Saikewicz, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

In what may prove to be the most controversial medicolegal decision of the year, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has ruled that, in certain cases, courts are the proper forum in which life-sustaining medical decisions should be made.1 The controversy goes deep. It involves questions of who should make life-prolonging decisions, in what forum, and on what criteria. Until the last few years, these questions arose almost exclusively in the context of Jehovah's Witnesses cases - cases in which life-saving blood transfusions were being refused for religious reasons. But with society's increasing consciousness about the way people die in hospitals, …

Enforcement Of Occupational Safety And Health Laws In Virginia: A New Beginning, Anthony F. Troy, Robert D. Perrow Jan 1978

Enforcement Of Occupational Safety And Health Laws In Virginia: A New Beginning, Anthony F. Troy, Robert D. Perrow

University of Richmond Law Review

Preempted in 1972 from enforcing its laws and regulations pertaining to employee safety and health by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA), Virginia resumed enforcement activities on January 1, 1977, implementing, pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Act, a unique developmental State Plan. Virginia's resumption of enforcement activity in the area of job safety and health culminated a difficult four-year effort by the legislative and executive branches of Virginia government to gain recognition from the United States Department of Labor that her regulations and the method for enforcing the regulations were "at least as effective" as …


Title Vi And Health Facilities: Forms Without Substance, Ken Wing Jan 1978

Title Vi And Health Facilities: Forms Without Substance, Ken Wing

Faculty Articles

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits racial discrimination by recipients of federal funds, including institutions that provide health care. This article assesses the current status of the Title VI enforcement program for health facilities and the problem of racial discrimination in these institutions that the Act is trying to resolve. After analyzing the legislative and political history of Title VI as it relates to health facilities, the author concludes that Title VI enforcement has been ineffective and misdirected and he suggests changes that could improve the program's implementation.
