The Death Of Jesse Gelsinger: New Evidence Of The Influence Of Money And Prestige In Human Research, Robin Fretwell Wilson 2010 Washington and Lee University School of Law

The Death Of Jesse Gelsinger: New Evidence Of The Influence Of Money And Prestige In Human Research, Robin Fretwell Wilson

Scholarly Articles

Ten years ago, Jesse Gelsinger died while participating in a human gene therapy trial at the University of Pennsylvania (“Penn”). His death came to signify the corrosive influence of financial interests in human subjects research. After Jesse's death, the media reported that one researcher. Dr. James Wilson, held shares in a biotech company, Genovo, which stood to gain from the research's outcome — shares that The Wall Street Journal later valued at $13.5 million, although Wilson maintains he did not make nearly this much. At the time Penn authorized Wilson's deal, internal Penn documents implicitly valued Wilson's stake in Genovo …

La Caja De Pandora: Improving Access To Hospice Care Among Hispanic And African-American Patients, Kathy L. Cerminara, Alina M. Perez 2010 Nova Southeastern University - Shepard Broad College of Law

La Caja De Pandora: Improving Access To Hospice Care Among Hispanic And African-American Patients, Kathy L. Cerminara, Alina M. Perez

Faculty Scholarship

Many patients clinging to hope in the form of potentially curative treatment could benefit from hospice services, but, for the most part, it is not until the patient accepts the finality of his or her condition that the physical, psychological and social benefits of hospice care become accessible to the patient and his or her family. Under current Medicare regulations and other health care payers’ policies, patients must abandon the hope of curative treatment before opting for hospice services. As a result, many terminally ill patients access the services late, sometimes a few hours before death. Scholars have proposed that …

Phase Six Pandemic: A Call To Re-Evaluate Federal Quarantine Authority Before The Next Catastrophic Outbreak, John T. Clarkson 2010 University of Georgia School of Law

Phase Six Pandemic: A Call To Re-Evaluate Federal Quarantine Authority Before The Next Catastrophic Outbreak, John T. Clarkson

Georgia Law Review

At some point in the future, the United States will confront a deadly pandemic. One potential response to blunt the impact of an outbreak may be the use of a large-scale quarantine. The current statutory framework governing federal quarantine authority, however, is outdated and in need of revision. Any reform must acknowledge that the federal government may be best positioned to respond to national health threats and must simultaneously create limits on federal power to ensure a proper balance of power remains between the states and the federal government. This Note proposes that Congress focus its reform efforts on adding …

Pushing Back: Protecting Maternal Autonomy From The Living Room To The Delivery Room, Benjamin Grant Chojnacki 2010 Cleveland State University

Pushing Back: Protecting Maternal Autonomy From The Living Room To The Delivery Room, Benjamin Grant Chojnacki

Journal of Law and Health

As mothers are given more freedom to make their delivery choices, problems with the current maternity care system and the legal protections afforded fetus have the potential to diminish maternal independence. At one end of the spectrum, the home birth movement and reactions against "medicalized" birth have the potential to create physician distrust and a greater resistance to medical treatment. This resistance, when coupled with an expansive view of fetal rights may result in compelled medical treatment, injury, or the loss of parental rights. At the other end of the spectrum, elective C-sections and inductions will diminish the likelihood that …

Form & Reform: The Economic Realities Of The United States Healthcare System, Mark Votruba

Journal of Law and Health

Good afternoon, everybody. My name is Eric Steiger, I'm one of the editors-in-chief from the Journal of Law and Health. And I'm happy to welcome all of you to the second speaker event in the 2009/2010 Journal of Law and Health Speaker Series. Thank you all for coming. Now, I know that the news last week was dominated by the story of Sandra Bullock's breakup; however, some of you might have noticed that a small piece of minor legislation also got passed through Congress last week. And you also might have noticed that it wasn't quite as full of bipartisan …
