Synthesizing Related Rules From Statutes And Cases For Legal Expert Systems, Layman E. Allen, Sallyanne Payton, Charles S. Saxon
Synthesizing Related Rules From Statutes And Cases For Legal Expert Systems, Layman E. Allen, Sallyanne Payton, Charles S. Saxon
Articles
Different legal expert systems may be incompatible with each other: A user in characterizing the same situation by answering the questions presented in a consultation can be led to contradictory inferences. Such systems can be ”synthesized’ to help users avoid such contradictions by alerting them that other relevant systems are available to be consulted as they are responding to questions. An example of potentially incompatible, related legal expert systems is presented here - ones for the New Jersey murder statute and the celebrated Quinlan case, along with one way of synthesizing them to avoid such incompatibility.

Pregnancy, Drugs, And The Perils Of Prosecution, Wendy K. Mariner, Leonard H. Glantz, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
In the war on drugs an offensive has been launched against pregnant women who use drugs. Over the past four years, prosecuting attorneys have been indicting women who use drugs while pregnant. In South Carolina alone, eighteen women who allegedly took drugs during pregnancy were indicted last summer for criminal neglect of a child or distribution of drugs to a minor.' In the only successful prosecution so far, Jennifer Johnson was convicted in Florida for delivering illegal drugs to a minor via the umbilical cord in the moment after her child was born and before the cord was clamped.2 …

Vanderbilt Law Review
The recurring crises in medical malpractice litigation have been widely discussed and documented over the past two decades.' In response to these crises, a growing consensus has emerged among legislatures, government agencies, and scholars in favor of tort reform. Indeed, virtually every state has passed some tort reform legislation.'Despite the reforms, several serious problems persist in medical malpractice. The current tort system does not compensate injured patients adequately or equitably, nor does it deter negligent practices sufficiently. These failings occur despite the increasingly high costs to society of the tort system. Particularly troublesome is the impact of these crises on …

For Love Or Money: Ethical And Legal Issues In The Debate Concerning Surrogate Parenthood, E. Lynette Jennings
Theses & Honors Papers
When natural child birth is not an option for women due to fertility or health problems, they require alternative methods like surrogate parenting. Surrogate parenting is a method not as widely known about as adoption or infertility treatments. A woman will bear a child for another woman who is infertile for a fee. There have been many questions raised regarding surrogacy’s moral and legal standing. This thesis examines the reasons why surrogate parenting in society should not be banned, but legalized.

Fetal Abuse: Culpable Behavior By Pregnant Women Or Parental Immunity, George P. Smith Ii
Fetal Abuse: Culpable Behavior By Pregnant Women Or Parental Immunity, George P. Smith Ii
Journal of Law and Health
The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate the pressing need of the law to take decisive action in imposing tort liability for willful and malicious conduct by drug addicted women during their pregnancy. Liability should be imposed notwithstanding the warnings from civil libertarians that the enforcement of such a policy would most assuredly give rise to "prenatal police patrols".
An Incompetent Individual's Right To Die, Carol M. Friedman
An Incompetent Individual's Right To Die, Carol M. Friedman
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Individuals must be fully informed and comprehend the consequences of refusing medical treatment before doing so. At the time of publication, New York courts used a subjective intent test to determine a patient's intentions before he or she became medically incompetent. The author argues that this test is ineffective where the patient did not have ability or forethought to make his or her intentions known. In such a case, the author contends that a surrogate should be appointed and given the discretion to consider what the surrogate believes would be the intent of the incapacitated person as well as the …
Feeding The Permanently Unconscious And Terminally Ill Or Dying Is Not Always Compassion, Phebe Saunders Haugen
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
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 …

A Unified Approach To Organ Donor Recruitment, Organ Procurement, And Distribution, David A. Peters
Journal of Law and Health
This article initially demonstrates the falsity of each of these assumptions. Policy alternatives are then proposed to govern donor recruitment and the activities of organ procurement and distribution. These alternatives are consistent with the correct assumption on the issues mentioned, and appear to be politically feasible in the light of available empirical evidence.
