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.

The point of this essay can be summed up in the following set of propositions: that the cultivation of professional values - certain attitudes and habits of heart that are thought critical to the practice and culture of the profession - is essential to the education of lawyers; that the cultivation of professionalism necessarily entails the nurturing of a sense of professional self-consciousness and constructive introspection, and an attitude of respect and responsibility towards others - what some would call "caring;" that law schools can go a long way towards encouraging their students in the cultivation of these virtues by creating within the law school community an atmosphere that encourages its faculty to interact with students in ways that take seriously the need to teach professionalism, whether by intellectual engagement with these issues, by example, or otherwise; that such interactions necessarily require faculty time, energy, and availability; and that the competing demands placed on law faculty will prevent that attention from being paid to students unless the faculty and administrative leadership within universities and law schools gives appropriate value and recognition to excellence in this aspect of legal education.

The proverbial "graying of America" has given rise to a constant need to re-evaluate many core areas of substantive law to determine the degree to which they are intertwined with legal issues that are of great concern to senior citizens. This article focuses on the aspects of the basic real property course that intersect with the substantive area known as "Elder Law". Elder law is a diverse field that has grown geometrically in recent years as modern medicine continues to extend our life expectancy. Because we are all living longer elder law issues extend beyond mere concerns of property descent and distribution. While it is certainly true that any of us could pass away at any given moment, the elderly understandably think about death more often than others and are therefore more concerned about their property passing to the parties they choose. But as the elderly continue to press forward they are also anxious about their quality of life and the legal implications of having others assist in the daily legal issues surrounding acquisition, maintenance and transfers of property while they still have a strong body and mind.
