Shots for Tots
By endorsing the use of a vaccine that makes the experience of puffing on a cigarette deeply distasteful, Lieber and Millum have taken the first few tentative steps into a future filled with medical interventions that manipulate individual preferences. It is tempting to embrace the careful arguments of “Preventing Sin” and celebrate the possibility that the profound individual and social costs of smoking will finally be tamed. Yet there is someth…
The Triumph and Tragedy of Tobacco Control
The use of law and policy to limit tobacco consumption illustrates one of the greatest triumphs of public health in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, as well as one of its most fundamental failures. Overall decreases in tobacco consumption throughout the developed world represent millions of saved lives and unquantifiable suffering averted. Yet those benefits have not been equally distributed. The poor and the undereducated hav…

Feldman tells the story of how anti-smoking advocates, public health professionals, bureaucrats, and tobacco corporations have clashed over smoking regulation. The nations discussed in this book are struggling to shape a tobacco policy that ensures corporate accountability, protects individual liberty, and asserts the state’s public health power.
The Ritual of Rights in Japan
The Ritual of Rights in Japan challenges the conventional wisdom that the assertion of rights is fundamentally incompatible with Japanese legal, political and social norms. It discusses the creation of a Japanese translation of the word 'rights', Kenri; examines the historical record for words and concepts similar to 'rights'; and highlights the move towards recognising patients' rights in the 1960s and 1970s. Two policy studies are central to th…

The Landscape of Japanese Tobacco Policy
This paper presents three perspectives on the current landscape of tobacco policy and smoking in Japan. One highlights the historical and comparative contexts of Japanese tobacco policy, and emphasizes the continuity and similarity of Japanese legal, political, and social practices with those of other nations. The second illuminates the political economy of tobacco in Japan - tobacco farmers, government bureaucrats, politicians, and big business.…
Blood Saga
During the early 1980s, almost 50 percent of hemophiliacs living in the industrialized world were infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) because their blood-based medications were HIV-contaminated. 1 As they became aware that they were sick or dying, they reacted with anger, grief, resignation, desperation, shock, and fear. In some cases, these feelings unified them as they sought to cope with a common crisis. At other times, such fee…
Blood Justice
In the mid-1980s, many blood transfusion recipients and close to half of Japanese, American, and French hemophiliacs realized that they had been infected with HIV-contaminated blood. In this article I argue that the legal conflicts over HIV-tainted blood in those three nations defy conventional comparative claims about courts, conflict, and compensation. I first describe the similar policy responses of France, Japan, and the United States as publ…
Blood Feuds
In the mid-1980s public health officials in North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia discovered that almost half of the haemophiliac population, as well as tens of thousands of blood transfusion recipients, had been infected with HIV-tainted blood. This book provides a comparative perspective on the political, legal, and social struggles that emerged in response to the HIV contamination of the industrialized worlds blood supply. It describes h…

Legal Transplants, Organ Transplants
A successful legal transplant- like that of a human organ- will grow in its new body, and become part of that body just as the rule or institution would have continued to develop in its parent system. Subsequent development in the host system should not be confused with rejection. (Alan Watson,1974: 27) i
Mirroring Minds
During the Heian period, from the ninth to the eleventh centuries, there existed in feudal Japan a popular game known as kai awase.1 The game, which can be translated literally as matching, began when one half of a clamshell was placed outside-up in front of the contestants. Nearby were piled an assortment of shells from the same variety of clam, and the winner of the game was the person who was able to pair the featured shell with its matching h…
Aids in Industrialized Democracies
In the ten years since the first cases of AIDS were reported, the disease has spread around the world. Every country has had to come up with policies suited to its own conditions, economy, culture, and institutions. The differences among their approaches are striking. This volume, the first international comprehensive comparison of responses to AIDS, is a unique guide to the world's most urgent public health crisis. Sixteen leading experts in pub…

Medical Ethics the Japanese Way
Feldman describes the discipline of medical ethics as relatively\nundeveloped in Japan, where cultural values of consensus and deference to\nauthority result in few challenges to physician decision making. He discusses\nJapanese attitudes toward a variety of specific bioethical issues, including\nartificial insemination by donor, in vitro fertilization followed by embryo\ntransfer, care of handicapped newborns, brain death, organ transplantation,…
Hospice under the Medicare Wing
Beginning in November 1983, Medicare will cover certain hospice\nservices provided in the home. The political maneuvering which preceded\npassage of this legislation is traced. The original bill was amended to\nreduce counseling services and the period of coverage, and to cap costs at 40%\nof the average Medicare cost for the last six months of a cancer patient's\nlife. The legislation has been hailed by the press, though some critics are\ntroubl…
