Feeding The Permanently Unconscious And Terminally Ill Or Dying Is Not Always Compassion, Phebe Saunders Haugen Jan 1989

Feeding The Permanently Unconscious And Terminally Ill Or Dying Is Not Always Compassion, Phebe Saunders Haugen

Faculty Scholarship

A surrogate decision maker may conclude that efforts to mechanically provide liquid nourishment would cause considerable suffering in return for little gain. But such a decision is unquestionably one that can produce great conflict for families and for medical caregivers. Assessment must be made of each patient's situation and of the benefits and burdens that will result if tube feeding is withheld or withdrawn. It may well be, however, that in some cases, the most humane and compassionate treatment for a patient is the withdrawal of all technological interventions, including those that supply nourishment.

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 …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Medical Malpractice The Year In Review, Phillip C. Stone, Charles F. Hilton

University of Richmond Law Review

In its 1989 session, the General Assembly amended several medical malpractice statutes. Perhaps the most important changes expanded the definition of "health care provider" under the Medical Malpractice Act (the "Act"), and clarified the qualification requirements for expert witnesses.


Bioethics And Law: The Second Stage – Balancing Intelligent Consent And Individual Autonomy, Judith C. Areen Jan 1989

Bioethics And Law: The Second Stage – Balancing Intelligent Consent And Individual Autonomy, Judith C. Areen

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The principle that government rests on the consent of the governed eventually spread beyond the political arena to alter such private behavior as the relationship between physician and patient. This Article examines the successive transformations of the principle of consent as it has developed in the field of law and bioethics from bare consent to informed consent, and then, more strikingly, to beyond informed consent. This most recent form of the principle may prove to be every bit as revolutionary as the idea of popular sovereignty in 17th century England.


In Re Grant: Where Does Washington Stand On Artificial Nutrition And Hydration?, Stephen P. Vanderhoef Jan 1989

In Re Grant: Where Does Washington Stand On Artificial Nutrition And Hydration?, Stephen P. Vanderhoef

Seattle University Law Review

The Washington Supreme Court in In re Grantsought to determine whether life sustaining treatment could be legally withheld from a terminally ill, non-comatose, incompetent individual. In its December 1987 slip opinion, a majority of the court expanded on its previous decisions empowering third parties, including guardians, families, and physicians, to withhold and withdraw life sustaining treatment from incompetent individuals. This was accomplished by characterizing artificial nutrition and hydration as removable, life sustaining medical treatment. The court also gave third parties the power to remove artificial nutrition and hydration before the incompetent individual in question slips into a coma or …

Aids And The Law: Setting And Evaluating Threshold Standards For Coercive Public Health Intervention, Eric S. Janus Jan 1988

Aids And The Law: Setting And Evaluating Threshold Standards For Coercive Public Health Intervention, Eric S. Janus

Faculty Scholarship

This article examines in detail an example of legislation that redefines the scope of permissible public health intervention and provides procedural protections compatible with modern precedent—the Minnesota Health Threat Procedures Act. This Act is an appropriate subject for close study because it is intended to be responsive to the general concerns raised by the commentators: the narrowing redefinition of the scope of coercive public health intervention and the addition of suitable procedural protections. Coercive public health legislation merits close attention because it inevitably invokes a clash of three important values. The purpose of the legislation is the protection of the …
