Drug Testing in Adolescents
Case Adam has been under the pediatric care of Dr. Nichols for the last 7 years, since his family moved to town. He has been an average student and plays football and baseball. He has had no major health problems to date and is, to all appearances, a healthy 15-year-old. He has 2 younger siblings and very involved parents, Beth and David
Steroid Hysteria: Unpacking the Claims
Some assertions, such as, "Using anabolic steroids for performance enhancement in sports is immoral," or "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction," seem to be so clearly true that reliable evidence (in the latter case), or coherent arguments (in the former) aren't considered necessary to justify coercive action

Nor is it possible to distinguish consistently between ethical and unethical uses of restorative drugs, additive drugs, painkillers, and recreational drugs. We oppose drugs in sports because they violate the majority notion of acceptable behavior. But such opposition has more to do with defending the ideals of the communit…
Committee Review for Handicapped Newborn Care
Putting Hospitals on Notice
Shortly after a well-publicized Indiana case in which a Down's\nsyndrome newborn was allowed to die, the Department of Health and Human\nServices notified hospitals that, under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act\nof 1973, they could lose federal funding for withholding treatment or\nnourishment from the handicapped.
