Robert Latimer was born in 1953 on a farm on the prairies of Saskatchewan and grew up to own a 1,280-acre farm. In 1980 he married, and that year Tracy, the first of four children, was born. During her birth, Tracy's brain was terribly damaged by lack of oxygen, and severe cerebral palsy ensued. By 1993 Tracy could laugh, smile, and cry, and she could recognize her parents and her siblings. But she could not understand her own name or even simple words like "yes" and "no." She could not swallow well and would so often vomit her parents kept …

The Liability Of Psychotherapists For Breach Of Confidentiality, Ellen W. Grabois
Journal of Law and Health
This paper will try to reconstruct the legal and ethical underpinnings of the confidential relationship of psychotherapist and patient, and will also touch upon the psychotherapist-patient testimonial privilege and its exceptions.

It will conclude with some evaluation of this type of cause of action, and its future usefulness in the law..
Restricting Donative Choice: Fetal Tissue Transplantation And Respect For Human Life, Joanna H. Kinney
Restricting Donative Choice: Fetal Tissue Transplantation And Respect For Human Life, Joanna H. Kinney
Journal of Law and Health
I propose that a woman who becomes pregnant with the intent to abort will be treated as an initial aggressor, and as such she will be denied the "abortion exception" that will be granted to the woman who aborts an accidental, unwanted pregnancy. Moreover, I shall argue that a woman should not be allowed to designate the donee of the fetal tissue from her abortion, even though her pregnancy was accidental. Without this restriction, a woman who intends to become pregnant and abort may simply claim her pregnancy was accidental, and thereby claim the exception. Central to this study is …
The Doctor And His Lawyer: Conflicts Of Interest, Richard H. Underwood
The Doctor And His Lawyer: Conflicts Of Interest, Richard H. Underwood
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
This Article will not survey and catalog all available cases dealing with the "insurance counsel's tightrope." Instead, it will focus on the identification and resolution of conflicts of interest that may arise at various stages of the litigation of a medical malpractice action in which a lawyer has been retained to represent the interests of both the physician policy-holder and his insurance carrier. Many of the problems examined are applicable to all insurance defense litigation, and the combination of large claims and complex issues presented in medical malpractice cases, together with the distrust of lawyers shared by many doctors, provides …

Book Reviews: Ethics At The Edges Of Life / Samuel Johnson, L. Harold Levinson, J. Allen Smith
Vanderbilt Law Review
Professor Paul Ramsey,' writing as a Christian ethicist, has revised, extended, and updated the Bampton Lectures in America that he delivered in 1975 at Columbia University. The resulting book is Ethics at the Edges of Life: Medical and Legal Intersections. A substantial portion of the book is devoted to critical analysis of a number of landmark court decisions, all of which were rendered after his delivery of the Bampton lectures--Planned Parenthood v. Danforth, on abortion; Commonwealth v. Edelin, on the treatment of a fetus during or immediately after an abortion; In re Quinlan, on the termination of life support; and …
