I.
The New Jersey Health Commissioner is keenly aware of the excellent reputation of the Masters of Health Administration Program at the Bloustein School of Rutgers University and its outstanding students. In light of this, she seeks your advice concerning an upcoming regulatory inspection concerning the Department’s compliance with state, federal and professional licensure requirements of its Institutional Ethics Committees.
Prepare an in-depth memorandum addressing the genesis, purpose, function, structure and goals of the Committee as well as the current role of its consultation process and its contribution to the institution’s overall mission.
II.
The prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, mindful of the students’ reputation in the MHA Program at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, is seeking monographs concerning the rapidly growing use of traditional, genetic and gestational surrogacy reflecting your knowledge and insight into the emerging efforts to legalize and monetize a medical protocol now accepted, in some form or other, by 15 of the United States. Moreover, the Journal wishes to do a definitive update on the practice and the historical contribution of the landmark “Baby M” case.
The Journal solicits from you an analysis of the renowned legal opinion and an elaboration of the medical, ethical and legal concerns that endeavor to shape a national consensus. Please prepare an overview of past, present and anticipated surrogacy practices that will inform and authenticate your conclusions.
III.
The New Jersey Medical Society (the nation’s oldest Society of physicians, founded in 1766) mindful that Bloustein students are in the forefront of medical-ethical scholarship, has submitted an important question concerning a Louisiana abortion law which requires doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. This is of concern to the Society’s members as the requirement may place some doctors at legal and licensure risk for potential failure to be able to comply.
Analyze the ethical and legal arguments against the backdrop of the Roe v Wade, Planned Parenthood v Casey and Right to Choose v Byrne decisions.
The question is designed to elicit a fair and balanced catalogue of society’s differing viewpoints concerning women’s reproductive rights and gender equality.
