Law & Ethics - November 2006

system allows for choice and research of drugs and treatments. However, then they will stand in the way of promising new treatments like stem cell research? So--why is that? Isn't cutting edge technology one of their primary reasons for denying health care to people like me?


Just out of curiosity, for those who are opposed to stem cell research--what is your stance on Invitro-fertilization? Both result in the "destruction" of embryonic tissue, yet only one gets bad press.

The prisons and jails of the U.S. are full of young men who want to carry guns and fight for "their turf" why not give these gang bangers the option to be trained and sent to combat instead of jail or prison? I have a son in prison wasting his life and would rather much see him defending his family and country than these drug infested streets where he chose to live. If God were to take him from me for defending and fighting for his country I could sleep easier at night rather than worrying to death that some other punk would kill him in a some senseless act. Am I alone or wrong to feel this way, including about my own son?

My best friend is 17 years old. She was sexually active, without her father's knowledge. Her father is a real religious nut, and would go crazy if he found out she was on birth control. The main reason that she wants to go on birth control now is because of the intense cramp pains that she has with her period. Her dad's girlfriend confronted her about the idea of using birth control, but she doesn't want her dad's girlfriend to be in the middle and responsible for hiding it from her dad. She does not have any health insurance because her dad will not buy it. He will also not get the money together for her to go to the gyno. We know that she can get the birth control shot from the health department, but she has celebral pausy and during several of her surgeries was poked several points to the point of being sick and passing out, so is terribly afraid of needles. Our question is, what are the laws concearning her father's knowledge (her mother is dead) and can she get pills free?

So there was a 3 way argument between a friend and I and a guy in our class who swears up and down that there are no laws forcing medical researchers/ pharmacuetical companies to release information about potential or succesful cures to diseases. Keep in mind that the guy in question is pretty eccentric and stubborn to the point of ignorance, so I've gotten used to tuning him out-- but I'm a big fan of proving my point, and I can't wait to smear his incorrectness in his face on Wednesday. Help me out, law folks-- what're the rules in this arena?

I'm a male living in Texas & my boss is female. If she tells me that I should complement her on how she dresses, is this considered sexual harassment? She also has a tendency to "pass gas" in my work area - and has actually laughed about it. Is this considered a hostile working environment? Is it illegal for her to insist I tell her she looks good, and what about her farting around me?

I have been trying to find the answer to this question but it seems ambiguous everywhere. For an act to legally be 'sexual contact' what has to happen? Does there have to be penetration? Does there have to be contact with a sexual part? Or what? Can it be sexual contact to give a foot rub? Is there someone with experience of UK law in this area that can help. Thank you.

I am involved in a lawsuit invovling property damage to spruce logs for a home. We offered to replace damaged property with the same logs from the same area. The spruce logs came from an area known for its twisted grain and the builder exceeded industry standards for amount of twist allowed. In short the owner rejected the offer and is wanting better quality logs than he had started with and is wanting more expensive logs from Canada. This is going to be a jury trial. Would this not be seen as a form of fraud?
