Splitting Deceased Donor Livers to Double the Transplant Benefits: Addressing the Legal, Ethical, and Practical Challenges
Get PDFLiver transplantation is different from transplanting other solid organs because some recipients can achieve good long-term outcomes with only half of a donor’s liver (or less). This means that some deceased donor livers can be split, saving two lives instead of one. However, although more than 10 percent of cadaveric livers meet the criteria for splitting, only about 1.5 percent are actually split in the United States. This article identifies a set of ethical, legal, and logistical challenges to a more extensive use of split liver transplantation (SLT) within existing legal frameworks. We then discuss how each of these challenges can be overcome with a set of realistic clarifications and changes to the current liver transplant architecture. Three guiding values shape liver allocation policy in the United States: maximizing expected outcomes, ensuring broad access, and prioritizing the sickest patients. While the last value is in tension with SLT (because the sickest patients often need a whole liver), we maintain that greater adoption of SLT is consistent with this normative balance. In addition, the distribution infrastructure is not designed to facilitate splitting. When a surgical team is offered a liver for a specific patient, they feel duty-bound to give that specific patient the whole organ. Further discouraging SLT, performance metrics, including those used to determine a transplant program’s eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid funding, focus on surgical outcomes rather than waitlist mortality. Our preferred remedies entail clarifying the informed consent requirements for SLT, using a national clearinghouse to identify livers that are prime candidates for splitting, offering these livers to qualifying programs for SLT only, and establishing a separate regulatory reporting and outcomes evaluation pathway for SLT. Together, these reforms, many of which have precedents in the transplant field, will support the expansion of SLT in carefully controlled conditions and save more lives
Birth Empowerment: Integrating Doula Services into Our Healthcare System
Get PDFThis law review article explores the role of doulas in improving maternal and infant outcomes and the challenges of integrating doula services into our healthcare system. Part I provides an overview of maternal and infant mortality rates in the United States, highlighting the disparities faced by women of color and low-income women. Part II discusses the benefits of doula services, including reduced rates of cesarean delivery, preterm birth, and other complications. Part III reviews current coverage of doula services in various states, both in the public and private sector. Part IV critiques the current regulatory scheme for doula services and proposes a state-run board to review doula conduct and services to ensure quality care. The article concludes that integrating doula services into our healthcare system is essential for improving maternal and infant outcomes, but requires addressing structural barriers such as reimbursement policies and regulatory frameworks.

The Planned Overhaul of Israel’s Judiciary
No full textEvent Description
This remote program, led by a prominent Israeli scholar, will explain and analyze the legislative package that Israel\u27s Minister of Justice introduced to overhaul the judicial system. The proposal generated unprecedented protests in Israel that received international media coverage. Supporters of the changes justify them as necessary to rein in an unaccountable judiciary. Opponents fear that the removal of the only effective check on executive power in Israel will jeopardize civil liberties, economic prosperity, and Israel’s international standing. Attendees will gain a deep understanding of the issues at hand and what they could mean for the future of Israel. Speaker: Dr. Meital Pinto

Power Shift: The Return of the Uniting for Peace Resolution
Get PDFIn 2022, the United States dusted off the 1950 Uniting for Peace Resolution in order to obtain General Assembly condemnation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This was the first time in three decades that the Security Council and General Assembly had utilized the Uniting for Peace mechanism – a process designed to end-run a Security Council veto. Together with the General Assembly’s creation of the international investigative mechanism for Syria in 2016 over Russia’s objection, the use of the Uniting for Peace process to condemn Russia’s aggression represented a shift in power away from the Security Council and to the General Assembly, with potentially broad and long-term implications. This article examines the causes and consequences of that power shift
