-takes black womanhood as its object - starting point
-shed light on the way in which personal practices and systems of misogyny have
hindered the success of black women

-A palliative care unit in Portland, Oregon that treats dying patients holistically
-They make sure that people have time to reflect on life and the spiritual & mental
health support to grapple with their mortality
-They spend extra time with patients and employ a harpist to soothe them
-example of Meilander's position that maximizing love and care, not minimizing
suffering, should be the goal of end-of-life-care.

-right to abortion was an extension of the right to privacy
?? It is the right to privacy of the doctor who supervises a woman's medical decisions
-Roe opinion (Blackmun wins): women have right to privacy including to abort or not
,-state has an interest in protecting life of
woman: can regulate abortion procedure after
1st trimester to ensure safety of mother
-state has an interest in protecting life of fetus:
state interest becomes compelling at point of
viability (~24 weeks) (state can regulate or
prescribe abortion at this point)
-Wade opinion (Beckwith): protection of prenatal life begins at quickening

prenatal screening
withholding: not giving an intervention
withdrawing: stopping an intervention
John Paul II: you cannot withdraw treatment because you should be doing everything
you can to prolong life
Gillick: It can justifiably be withdrawn when it is needlessly prolonging an impending
death

withholding vs. withdrawing treatment
1. value: experiment must have diagnostic or therapeutic value that can lead to
improvements of health and well being of the public and the results will be shared
with the public
2. scientific validity: experiment must be designed and implemented in a methodically
rigorous way that avoid any harms to the public
-asking for medical and scientific competence
and applying it in a way to avoid putting the
public or research subjects at unnecessary risk in
order to get results → clinical equipoise: honest
null hypothesis, necessitates that it be genuinely
controversial that standard or experimental
treatment are superior
3. Fair subject selection: requires that scientific goals of research guide the selection
or exclusion of subjects and not vulnerability or privilege
-requires acknowledgement of influence subject
selection and requires that subjects are in
position to benefit from research and those who
benefit share some of the risks (if people invest
and participate they personally or the
population they represent should have access
to the outcomes of the studies)
4. favorable risk-benefit ratio: benefits should outweigh the cost of the research
-Identify potential risks, calls for trying to be
realistic as to what outcomes can be and making
sure that those who are taking the risk with
helping in the study are in position to benefit
-shed light on the way in which personal practices and systems of misogyny have
hindered the success of black women
