Legal Trends in Bioethics Summer 2007

Year: 2007

Type: preprint

Abstract: The laws governing bioethics issues are confusing and sometimes contradictory because of several types of tensions inherent in our legal system. The U.S. constitutional guarantees of separation of church and state and individual rights make bioethics issues involving personal, moral, or religious convictions particularly contentious. This Summer 2007 issue of Legal Trends in Bioethics includes legislative, judicial, and regulatory developments in bioethics on the state, federal, and in some cases even international level. This issue highlights the issues raised by the Supreme Court's recent holding in Gonzales v. Carhart, and other topics such as human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations, and Compassionate-Use Programs.
