Browne Lewis, C|M|LAW’s Leon and Gloria Plevin Professor of Law, and Director of C|M|LAW’s Center for Health Law and Policy, has published A Graceful Exit: Redefining Terminal to Expand the Availability of Physician Assisted Suicide, in the Oregon Law Review. The article appears at 91 Oregon L. Rev. 457 (2012). In her article, Lewis looks at the limited number of states that have enacted statutes that permit terminally ill persons to choose the time and manner of their death, and suggests ways the statutes could be improved to address critics’ concerns. It also recommends ways to expand the availability of physician-facilitated suicide in those states so that more people can exit gracefully.

C|M|LAW Professor and Associate Dean Heidi Gorovitz Robertson appears as a Guest Blogger in this week’s Crain’s Cleveland Business. Her post, Lessons from the Gulf: The Value of Emergency Planning suggests that emergency planning and preparedness for disaster was woefully inadequate in the Gulf of Mexico. The shortcomings there have been well documented. Robertson suggests that as Ohio rushes to develop its potentially lucrative shale oil and gas resources, it learn from the Gulf and make appropriate site specific plans for emergency response.
The post appears as part of Crain’s Ohio Energy Report. See the post here:
