Brill Justice for Older People
Book SynopsisThe authors of these papers vary in age, nationality and professional background. They share a belief that all too often older people are not treated justly or fairly, and also a belief that this is particularly true with regard to a proper respect for their dignity as people and a proper allocation of medical and social resources. Their papers, in various ways, give evidence as to what is happening and arguments, based on philosophical ethics, as to why it is wrong. The authors also have a range of proposals, backed by argument and evidence, and drawing on factual material as well as philosophical argument, as to what could be done to improve the situation. This is a book for anyone, whether themselves elderly, looking after an older person, professionally involved in working with older people, or simply realising that one day they will be old, who wants to learn about what is wrong with the present situation and how it might be made better.Table of ContentsDedication Ruth Chadwick: Foreword Preface Harry Lesser: Introduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Health Rights The International Library of Essays
Book SynopsisHealth Rights is a multidisciplinary collection of seminal papers examining ethical, legal, and empirical questions regarding the human right to health or health care. The volume discusses what obligations health rights entail for governments and other actors, how they relate to and potentially conflict with other rights and values, and how cultural diversity bears on the formulation and implementation of health rights. The paramount importance of such questions is illustrated, among other things, by the catastrophic health situation in developing countries and current debates about the TRIPS Agreement and health care reform in the United States. The volume is divided into five main parts which focus on philosophical questions about the bases for the right to health or health care; links between health and human rights; global bioethics and public health ethics; intellectual property rights in pharmaceuticals; and finally health rights issues arising in specific contexts such as HIV/Trade Review'Selgelid’s and Pogge’s collection leads a well structured path through the complex matter of the foundations of health rights and the practical complexities that are encountered in their realization.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Proprietary Remedies in Context
Book SynopsisThere is a tension in English law between the idea that the courts might provide a remedy by creating new property rights and the understanding that the judiciary's role is limited to the protection of existing proprietary interests with the power to redistribute property residing in the legislature alone. While there are numerous instances in which the courts intervene to readjust property rights,these are disguised in metaphor and fiction. However, this has meant that the law in this area has developed without open consideration of justifications for redistributing property. The result of this is that there is little coherence in the law of proprietary remedies as a whole and a good deal of it is indefensible. The book examines redistributive processes such as tracing, subrogation and proprietary estoppel and the use of the constructive trust in the context of contracts to assign property, vitiated transactions, the profits of wrongdoing and the breakdown of intimate relationships. It contrasts the English treatment of this area of law with developments in other common law jurisdictions where a more dynamic understanding of property has permitted more open acknowledgement of the judicial role in redistributing proprietary rightsTrade ReviewProprietary Remedies in Context is a rewarding book, with much to offer. It has a healthy radical edge and it argues with care, conviction and high intelligence. A great deal is packed into the book, but the virtues of clarity and economy of expression are very evident. David Carey Miller Legal Studies May 2003Table of ContentsPart 1 Property and proprietary remedies: exploring the idea of remedial trusts - from remedy to property - the development of the trust, different uses of the constructive trust, the remedial/institutional dichotomy; redistribution and property rites - two conceptions of property, property in English legal thought, the influence of these understandings on the law of proprietary remedies, orthodox and redistributive proprietary remedies, reason and ritual in the law of proprietary remedies; the legacy of legal realism - instrumentalist approaches to property - property in American legal thought, instrumentalism in proprietary remedies in US law, instrumentalism in other common law jurisdictions, formalism and instrumentalism contrasted; the normative foundations of proprietary claims and remedies - considerations of justice and efficiency for giving owners relief against third parties, rights to profit, should these remedies be specific?, should these remedies have priority in bankruptcy?. Redistributive proprietary remedies: the metaphysics of tracing - substituted title and property rhetoric - analysing tracing, the metaphysics of tracing - the denial of the remedial nature of tracing in legal discourse, an explanation of tracing rhetoric - the reconciliation of tracing with axiomatic notions of property rights, the normative basis for substituted title, the consequences of tracing discourse for the substantive, some realism about tracing, conclusion; the proprietary consequences of a vitiated intention to transfer property - "an intolerable reproach to our system of jurisprudence"? - the possible legal responses to a vitiated consent to pass title, vitiated intent and equitable title - doctrinal responses, proprietary relief for vitiated transfers - relevant policy considerations; qualified consent to transfer property - the mysterious basis of the quistclose trust - conceptualising the quistclose trust, considerations of justice and efficiency; obligation into ownership - constructive trusts and liens in arrangements to assign property - the distribution of entitlements in sale of goods transactions, the passage of title in equity - constructive trusts and liens arising in the context of contracts of sale, conclusion; proprietary relief for enrichment by wrongs - the shifting boundary between ownership and obligation - proprietary relief for enrichment by wrongs - a normative analysis, Lister v.

Yale University Press American Contagions Epidemics and the Law from
Book SynopsisA concise history of how American law has shapedand been shaped bythe experience of contagionTrade Review“In this brief and readable account, Mr. Witt describes the history of American efforts to prevent pandemics from breaking out and to grapple with them once they do.”—Adam J. White, Wall Street Journal“This thoughtful text asks readers to reflect upon the ways that epidemics reveal the nation’s weaknesses and its inequities, and to learn from a troublesome past so that we might walk toward a progressive future. A timely and accessible history of public health law.”—Erica Dunbar, Rutgers University“Professor Witt’s book is an original and thoughtful contribution to the interdisciplinary study of disease and American law. Although he covers the broad sweep of the American experience of epidemics from Yellow Fever to Covid-19, he is especially timely in his exploration of the legal background to the current disaster of the American response to the coronavirus. A thought-provoking, readable, and important work.”—Frank Snowden, author of Epidemics and Society"With this urgently needed book, John Witt has accomplished the seemingly impossible. In short order, he has produced a complex, authoritative, and accessible synthetic history of the interrelationship of law, epidemic, and public health regulation in America. As we again navigate the tortuous crises of pandemic, Witt's long history of the interplay of public safety, state power, legal right, and social exclusion brings a most welcome and necessary perspective and context."—William Novak, author of The People’s Welfare: Law and Regulation in Nineteenth-Century America“In this masterful book, John Fabian Witt knits together history and law to illuminate how deeply the COVID-19 pandemic has divided America, and how public health crises shape law and democracy itself. He guides us through the most consequential choices of our lifetimes, showing us that America can choose equity, compassion, science, and the rule of law.”—Lawrence O. Gostin, Georgetown University“Though caused by mysterious agents invisible to the naked eye, epidemics powerfully reveal the deep structures of power, authority, and inequality in human societies. In this timely, engagingly written, and admirably judicious account, John Fabian Witt vividly narrates the long history of American law’s entanglements with deadly diseases, from colonial times to our own, and offers valuable lessons for the American people in the age of COVID-19.”—Michael Willrich, author of Pox: An American History

University of California Press Punishing Disease HIV and the Criminalization of
Book SynopsisFrom the very beginning of the epidemic, AIDS was linked to punishment. Calls to punish people living with HIV-mostly stigmatized minorities-began before doctors had even settled on a name for the disease. Punitive attitudes toward AIDS prompted lawmakers around the country to introduce legislation aimed at criminalizing the behaviors of people living with HIV. Punishing Disease explains how this happened-and its consequences. With the door to criminalizing sickness now open, what other ailments will follow? As lawmakers move to tack on additional diseases such as hepatitis and meningitis to existing law, the question is more than academic.Trade Review"Punishing Disease [is] engagingly written and accessible to non-scientific and non-academic audiences, [and] impressively deploys the tools of sociology, criminology, and epidemiology to help us understand the baleful consequences of reacting to a public health emergency with punishment instead of compassion." * Undark *"This book offers numerous points of consideration that are relevant not only to the epidemic he discusses, but also our current pandemic. Notions of shame, stigma, misinformation (fake news) and punishment can immediately be applied to our experiences of COVID‐19. Though it is likely to find audiences amongst social scientists and public health professionals, I would argue that it has value for anyone interested in the relationship between disease and law, including those in the legal profession, policymakers and students. It is forensic and thorough, but engaging and accessible in terms of structure and language. . . . Hoppe offers a powerful, gently subversive text that is a call to action to build a new selection of tools to rebuild our epidemic responses, and to stop punishing disease." * Sociology of Health & Illness *"A thoroughly researched, detailed account of how the promotion of a model of individual responsibility for a fatal disease such as HIV serves to transform a medical problem into a criminal problem...

University of California Press Afterlives of Data Life and Debt under
Book SynopsisWhat our health data tell American capitalism about our valueand how that controls our lives. Afterlives of Datafollows the curious and multiple lives that our data live once they escape our control. Mary F. E. Ebeling's ethnographic investigation showshow information about our health and the debt that we carry becomes biopolitical assets owned by healthcare providers, insurers, commercial data brokers, credit reporting companies, and platforms. By delving into the oceans of data built from everyday medical and debt traumas, Ebeling reveals how data about our lives come to affect our bodies and our life chances and to wholly define us. Investigations into secretive data collection and breaches of privacy by the likes of Cambridge Analytica have piqued concerns among many Americans about exactly what is being done with their data. From credit bureaus and consumer data brokers like Equifax and Experian to the secretive military contractor Palantir, this massive industry has little regulatory oversight for health data and works to actively obscure how it profits from our data. In this book, Ebeling traces the health datamedical information extracted from patients'bodiesthat aredigitized and repackaged into new data commodities that have afterlives in database lakes and oceans, algorithms, and statistical models used to score patients on their creditworthiness and riskiness. Critical and disturbing,Afterlives of Data examines how Americans'data about their health and their debt are used in the service of marketing and capitalist surveillance.Trade Review"Well-grounded in current real-world issues, this text is both highly informative and approachable for readers thanks to the author's clear explanations and aptly chosen references. . . . Highly recommended." * CHOICE *"Ebeling’s book sheds light on the point where our health and debt data meet. . . .this book’s valuable insights into how data, power, and ideology fortify each other in today’s data-based society can be extended to many other fields within the social sciences." * Exertions *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: Data Lives On 1.

Harvard University Press The Law of Life and Death
Book SynopsisAre you alive? Most people believe that some law defines our status as living (or not) for all purposes. But Foley shows that “not being dead” isn’t necessarily the same as being alive, in the eyes of the law. The need for more organ transplants and conservation of health care resources is exerting pressure to expand the legal definition of death.Trade ReviewFoley’s book is essentially a primer or textbook on these legal issues of life and death, suitable for ethicists interested in learning about the law and for lawyers interested in learning about ethics… Foley ably lays out the moral arguments and legal disputes, and persuasively criticizes poorly reasoned judicial opinions. -- Eric Posner * New Republic online *Foley presents a profoundly intelligent, distinctive, and disturbing book. In seven short chapters, she dissects the legality behind what makes a person alive or dead… This work will be appreciated by legislators, serious readers, and legal and medical professionals. -- Harry Charles * Library Journal *Elizabeth Price Foley takes us on an agile and insightful romp through the briar patch of state and federal laws governing medical practice at the beginning and end of life. American politics is mired in legal debates over the limits of life and death practices, including embryo research, abortion, transplantation, treatment termination, suicide, and, most recently, ‘death panels.’ The Law of Life and Death deserves close attention from anyone trying to understand why lawyers have more influence than physicians on birth and death. -- George J.

Cairns's writing is a fine example of how science can be presented to the general reader in an extremely scholarly way, and why writing of this kind can be of equal interest to fellow scientists, reflecting as it does a remarkable imagination and intellect... [A] reflective and thoughtful account...

He offers fresh--although sometimes controversial--insights."--Joel E. Cohen, Nature "A brilliant and impressive analysis... [t]his book should be in everyone's personal library for many reasons; first, because Cairns is a lyrical writer and, second, he writes about science and molecular biology based on vast scientific knowledge, stressing the importance of history and of appreciating ultimate causes for all aspects of our lives and all that affects us. Interwoven are his perceptions of the beautiful and gracious things in life-art, music, literature-all with exquisite clarity.

University of British Columbia Press Health Care and the Charter
Book SynopsisSince the introduction of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, individuals and organizations have increasingly turned to the courts to try to bring about policy change in areas such as health care. Health Care and the Charter explores the systematic use of Charter litigation in the area of health care and the ultimate policy impact of the resulting judicial decisions. Christopher P.
