As Latin American becomes wired for the Internet, the traditional brick and mortar businesses will come under pressure by online merchants whose access to consumers will leap across international boundaries. While this may help consumers gain access to a greater variety of goods, significant legal and logistic challenges must first be addressed. Improvement in the handling and distribution of freight and packages and a greatly increased use of credit cards are critical to e-commerce taking off in the region. This article examines the growth and pitfalls of e-commerce at a time when Latin America is only now being connected to the worldwide information highway.

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.

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.
