Sex and the erasure of legal parenthood
Assessing the language of 2 year‐olds
Early screening for language problems is a priority given the importance of language for success in school and interpersonal relationships. The paucity of reliable behavioral instruments for this age group prompted the development of a new touchscreen language screener for 2‐year‐olds that relies on language comprehension. Developmental literature guided selection of age‐appropriate markers of language disorder risk that are culturally and dialec…
Feasibility of Virtually Delivering Functional Fitness Assessments and a Fitness Training Program in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
The COVID-19 pandemic limited older adults' access to preventative and diagnostic services and negatively affected accessibility to age-appropriate exercise programs. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of conducting guided virtual functional fitness assessments before and after participation in an 8-week virtual, live fitness program (Vivo) designed for older adults. It was hypothesized there would be no significant differenc…
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 and Non‐Traditional Families
There is now a broad consensus that reform of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990, as amended, has become necessary. Our focus in this legislation article is not on whether the Act needs to be reformed, but on the narrower question of whether the regulation of fertility treatment in the UK does enough to protect the interests of non‐traditional families. The 2008 reforms to the original 1990 Act took some important steps towards inclu…
When is a Mother Not a Mother
One of the hallmarks of John Eekelaar’s extraordinary body of family law scholarship is its clarity. As a student of family law, many decades ago, I was a grateful beneficiary of John’s ability to explain extraordinarily clearly how the law worked, or why it did not work well enough. Also several years ago now, as a teacher of family law, John’s articles would always be at the top of any reading list. If I ever find an aspect of family law hard t…
Evidence of assortative mating for theory of mind via facial expressions but not language
Assortative mating is a phenomenon in which romantic partners typically resemble each other at a level greater than chance. There is converging evidence that social behaviours are subject to assortative mating, though less is known regarding social cognition. Social functioning requires the ability to identify and understand the mental states of others, i.e., theory of mind. The present study recruited a sample of 102 heterosexual couples via an …

Assisted Dying
All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing students with a stand-alone resource. This chapter examines assisted dying. It looks at the current law, with particular emphasis upon the pressures currently being exerted on the status quo through British patients travelling to Dignitas in Switzerland for assisted suicides. The implications of the Nicklin…
The ambiguities of ‘social’ egg freezing and the challenges of informed consent
From ‘Doctor Knows Best’ to Dignity
In 1989, the House of Lords first derived a ‘best interests’ test for the medical treatment of adults who lack capacity from the doctrine of necessity and, now codified, the test continues to apply today. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 sets out a non‐exhaustive checklist of relevant considerations, but it gives no particular priority to the patient's wishes. There is also no formal expectation that the patient will participate directly in any court…
Using an introduction website to start a family
Donor insemination treatment offered in licensed clinics protects the donor, recipient and offspring both medically and legally. The Internet has opened up novel, unregulated ways of donating sperm through 'introduction websites' and social media forums. Broadly, three categories of women use introduction websites: those who want to have a child with no further involvement of the donor; those who wish to know the identity of the donor from the st…
Implementation of misoprostol for postabortion care in Kenya and Uganda
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate implementation of misoprostol for postabortion care (MPAC) in two African countries. DESIGN: Qualitative, program evaluation. SETTING: Twenty-five public and private health facilities in Rift Valley Province, Kenya, and Kampala Province, Uganda. SAMPLE: Forty-five MPAC providers, health facility managers, Ministry of Health officials, and non-governmental (NGO) staff involved in program implementation. METHODS AND MAIN OUTCOME…
Response to Letter to the Editor by Moran et al
A strategic assessment of unsafe abortion in Malawi
As part of efforts to achieve Millennium Development Goal 5--to reduce maternal mortality by 75% and achieve universal access to reproductive health by 2015--the Malawi Ministry of Health conducted a strategic assessment of unsafe abortion in Malawi. This paper describes the findings of the assessment, including a human rights-based review of Malawi's laws, policies and international agreements relating to sexual and reproductive health and data …
The Development of Byron's Philosophy of Knowledge
Taking a fresh approach to Byron, this book argues that he should be understood as a poet whose major works develop a carefully reasoned philosophy. Situating him with reference to the thought of the
‘A lively reader’s fancy does the rest’
I do not want a hero, for I have one. Don Juan plants doubt in everything, even doubt itself (IX.17), and in doing so it openly demonstrates in both form and narrative the instability, assumption, and uncertainty that Byron’s philosophical explorations concluded lie at the root of knowledge. Simultaneously, it enlists the reader into demonstrations of precisely how integral those attributes are to that paradigm of knowing, and of how they may be …
Top‐up Payments for Expensive Cancer Drugs
This article examines the implications for patient care, and for the future of rationing within the NHS, of the recent decision to permit NHS patients to supplement their care by paying for medicines — mainly expensive new cancer drugs — which are not available within the NHS. The starting point is the recommendations of the Richards' Report and their implementation through new guidance issued by the Department of Health and the National Institut…
Secularism, Sanctity and the Wrongness of Killing
Intimate Partner Violence and Suicidality in Low-Income African American Women
This study used quantitative and qualitative methods to examine psychological factors that influence links between intimate partner violence (IPV) and suicidality in a sample of low-income African American women. Quantitative results demonstrated greater general coping, more efficacious behavioral strategies in response to IPV, more effective use of resources, greater use of social support, and less substance use among women who did not attempt s…

Conception and the Irrelevance of the Welfare Principle
This article challenges the assumption that their future children’s welfare is a relevant consideration when deciding whether to provide a person with assisted conception services. It does not argue that infertility treatment ought to be available as of right. Rather, this article’s proposal is that section 13(5) – which specifies that no‐one shall receive assistance with conception unless account has first been taken of the welfare of any child …
Abortion, Autonomy and Prenatal Diagnosis
The principle of patient self-determination has assumed central importance in British medical law in recent years. This article considers whether this increasingly strong commitment to patient autonomy has any resonance for abortion law. In particular, this article explores the possibility that the priority currently accorded to autonomous decision making may be in tension with the Abortion Act's requirement that a woman's reasons for seeking to …

Childless by circumstance – Using an online survey to explore the experiences of childless women who had wanted children
Financial Support on Divorce
It is clear that legislative attempts to delineate clear boundaries between different types of private maintenance after divorce obscure their pragmatic manipulation. Child support, spousal support, and a possible transfer of the family home are conceptually distinct, but contact with practitioners has demonstrated that they are regularly treated as components of an overall package of redistribution. This article is the product of two separate re…
The Importance and Assessment of Final Year Projects
The importance of final year projects in electrical/electronics engineering education cannot be over emphasised. A fair assessment of these projects is therefore essential. Unfortunately assessing projects can be very subjective if no proper guidelines are given. This is actually the case in some institutions where there may be a yawning gap between the marks given by two examiners to the same project. Marks obtained by the students may also not …
Catharine MacKinnon and Feminist Jurisprudence
Law, it could be argued, is peculiarly resistant to novel critical perspectives. Liberal legal theory dominates, and one of its fundamental tenets, the doctrine of precedent, inculcates respect for past principles as an article of faith. Significant sections of the legal academy have succeeded in simply ignoring feminism. Catharine MacKinnon has emerged as one of the more vocal and persistent advocates of the need for a feminist account of law. M…

Contradictions and Coherence in Feminist Responses to Law
In this article I want to explore some of the questions which postmodernism raises for feminist analysis of law. There has been much disquiet about the possibility that feminism is imploding under the strain of the supposed radical instability of gender as a unifying political strategy.' For lawyers, this danger is patent: legal theory cannot, in its present form, take seriously women's claims if they do not operate at some level of generality. Y…
