The drug quinacrine hydrochloride was developed to treat and prevent diseases such as malaria, giardiasis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. However, despite not being approved for the use of sterilization by any government agency in the world, quinacrine has been promoted as a low cost, effective, and safe method for sterilizing poor and politically powerless women in developing countries. To date more than 100,000 women in developing countries have already been chemically sterilized with quinacrine. This article provides an historical account on the use of quinacrine as a sterilization agent and examines how three international codes of ethics governing human experimentation have been violated yet, have marginal utility in this case as they are either unenforceable or historically unenforced. Moreover, to shed further light on the nature of the quinacrine campaign, the author discusses how the campaign violates three generally accepted principles of bioethics – autonomy, beneficence/non-maleficence, and distributive justice. The article concludes, that since the quinacrine campaign does not conform to any of these basic bioethical principles, it should be denounced as an unethical and unacceptable medical experiment.

“Federalism Whether They Want It or Not”: The New Commerce Clause Doctrine and the Future of Federal Civil Rights Legislation after United States v. Morrison Article

Louis J. Virelli and David S. Leibowitz, “Federalism Whether They Want It or Not”: The New Commerce Clause Doctrine and the Future of Federal Civil Rights Legislation after United States v. Morrison, 3 U. Pa. J. Const. L. 926 (2001)Clicking on the button will copy the full recommended citation.
The Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Morrison represents a continuation of the judicial constriction of Congress' Commerce Clause power that began in United States v. Lopez. Rather than simply distinguishing Lopez and Morrison from its more recent decisions, the Lopez and Morrison Courts revisited interpretive approaches to the Commerce Clause that had lain dormant for more than six decades. This Article first considers Lopez and Morrison in light of the Court's interpretive history with the Commerce Clause. An analysis of this history reveals three dominant interpretive themes, and concludes that the Court's decisions in Lopez and Morrison depart markedly from the interpretive approach taken by the Court since the New Deal. The Article goes on to demonstrate how Morrison in particular signals the resurrection of an interpretive methodology that is more rigidly formalistic and designed to promote more broadly the notion of traditional spheres of state autonomy. Having identified this theoretical shift, the Article discusses the potential implications of this re-emerging, formalistic theory of Commerce Clause jurisprudence for federal civil rights legislation through an analysis of recent constitutional challenges to existing environmental laws.

11 U.S.C. section 365 considers the treatment of executory contracts in bankruptcy proceedings. Subsection 365(c)(1) prohibits the assumption or assignment of executory contracts when a contractual or legal provision would applicable law excuses a party from accepting third-party performance, while subsection 365(f) allows assignment of an executory contract under certain circumstances regardless of legal or contractual prohibitions on the assignment. This article considers the balance between these sometimes-contradictory subsections of the Bankruptcy Code, and concludes that Congress intended to allow the assumption of executory contracts even if they are not assignable in order to further the objections of reorganization bankruptcy proceedings.
