University of Richmond Law Review
The right to die with dignity is a controversial issue. In the absence of legislative guidance, court intervention is often necessary to protect a patient's right to the privacy of his own body.

For a large number of women, IVF represents the most promising opportunity for reproduction. This breakthrough makes it possible for infertile couples to experience for the first time the joys of natural parenthood that fertile or "normal" couples take for granted.

The decision to undergo a sterilization operation or an abortion is the result of considering many complex emotional and financial factors. The operation may be sought to avoid potential health risks associated with childbirth, or it may be sought to avoid the financial stress a new child will place on the family unit. Regardless of the rationale underlying the decision, the individual will require medical assistance. In some situations, however, this medical assistance is negligently performed, and the result may be the birth of a healthy but unplanned child.

Chapter 611, 1976 Acts of Assembly, provided for sweeping changes in the laws of medical and hospital negligence in Virginia.

This article will review the historical background which led to this perception and will analyze whether, in fact, this crisis did exist. Finally, the article will demonstrate that the Act is both unnecessary and more importantly, unconstitutional.
