His works are still read widely in China and are considered important enough to be included in the curriculum of secondary schools and universities in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Despite his enduring reputation among his countrymen, he is little known abroad and Western scholarly works on modern Chinese literature scarcely mention him. This thesis examines Zhu Ziqing's prose, since it is his essays which are the basis of his reputation. -
Kin Relationships
In H. T. Reis & S. Sprecher (Eds.), Encyclopedia of human relationships (pp. 951-954). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. Kin Relationships Kin relationships are traditionally defined as ties based on blood and marriage. They include lineal generational bonds (children, parents, grandparents, and great- grandparents), collateral bonds (siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews, and aunts and uncles), and ties with in-laws. An often-made distinction is that between primary kin (members of the families of origin and procreation) and secondary kin (other family members). The former are what people generally refer to as “immediate family,” and the latter are generally labeled “extended family.” Marriage, as a principle of kinship, differs from blood in that it can be terminated. Given the potential for marital break-up, blood is recognized as the more important principle of kinship. This entry questions the appropriateness of traditional definitions of kinship for “new” family forms, describes distinctive features of kin relationships, and explores varying perspectives on the functions of kin relationships. Questions About Definition Changes over the last thirty years in patterns of family formation and dissolution have given rise to questions about the definition of kin relationships. Guises of kinship have emerged to which the criteria of blood and marriage do not apply. Assisted reproduction is a first example. Births resulting from infertility treatments such as gestational surrogacy and in vitro fertilization with ovum donation challenge the biogenetic basis for kinship. A similar question arises for adoption, which has a history 2 going back to antiquity. Partnerships formed outside of marriage are a second example. Strictly speaking, the family ties of nonmarried cohabitees do not fall into the category of kin, notwithstanding the greater acceptance over time of consensual unions both formally and informally. -
Public Servants and Private Fiduciaries
PUBLIC SERVANTS AND PRIVATE FIDUCIARIES PARENTS: TRUSTED BUT NOT TRUSTEES OR (FOSTER) PARENTS AS FIDUCIARIES MARGARET F. BRINIG∗ In April of 2010, the mass media was full of accounts of a seven-year-old Russian boy, Artyom (whose adoptive name is Justin), who had been returned to Moscow on his own by an American adoptive mother who felt unable to care for him. The mother, Torry Hansen, alleged that her family was afraid of the boy, specifically because he had threatened to burn their house down around them and had drawn pictures of it in flames.1 She paid for someone to meet the child once he landed and had her mother deliver him to the gate before his ten hour flight.2 While there could be many reasons for disquiet on hearing the story – not the least of which was putting that young a child onto a lengthy international flight unescorted – this Conference suggests that we pay attention to our feelings that Ms. Hansen at least attempted to do something that parents cannot: to give back a child.3 ∗ Fritz Duda Family Professor of Law, Notre Dame Law School. 1 See, e.g., Clifford J.

Stat. § 48-3-601 and In re Byrd I. INTRODUCTION In September 1997, eighteen-year-old Shelly O'Donnell informed seventeen-year-old Michael Gilmartin that she was pregnant, and that based on her estimated due date, she believed that he was the father of her unborn child.' During the next two months, Shelly went to see Michael often, discussed her pregnancy with him, and showed him ultrasound images of her baby.2 During that time, Michael and his mother offered Shelly the opportunity to alleviate some of her expenses by allowing her to live rent-free in Michael's mother's home during her pregnancy.3 Shelly, however, declined the offer.4 Soon after that, in November 1997, Michael left moved away and began working two full-time jobs in order to save money for the baby.5 Later that month, Shelly contacted Michael and told him that she had received a revised estimated delivery date for the baby that indi- cated that he might not be the father of her child.6 Not long after learning this information, Shelly decided to give up her child for adop- tion and began working through an adoption network. -
Dna by the Entirety
DNA BY THE ENTIRETY Natalie Ram The law fails to accommodate the inconvenient fact that an individual’s identifiable genetic information is involuntarily and immutably shared with her close genetic relatives. Legal institutions have established that individuals have a cognizable interest in control- ling genetic information that is identifying to them. The Supreme Court recognized in Maryland v. King that the Fourth Amendment is impli- cated when arrestees’ DNA is analyzed, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act protects individuals from genetic discrimination in the employment and health-insurance markets. But genetic infor- mation is not like other forms of private or personal information because it is shared—immutably and involuntarily—in ways that are identifying of both the source and that person’s close genetic relatives. Standard approaches to addressing interests in genetic information have largely failed to recognize this characteristic, treating such infor- mation as individualistic. While many legal frames may be brought to bear on this problem, this Article focuses on the law of property. Specifically, looking to the law of tenancy by the entirety, this Article proposes one possible frame- work for grappling with the overlapping interests implicated in genetic identification and analysis. Tenancy by the entirety, like interests in shared identifiable genetic information, calls for the difficult task of conceptualizing two persons as one. The law of tenancy by the entirety thus provides a useful analytical framework for considering how legal institutions might take interests in shared identifiable genetic infor- mation into account. This Article examines how this framework may shape policy approaches in three domains: forensic identification, genetic research, and personal genetic testing. -

Family Formation and the Home Pamela Laufer-Ukeles' & Shelly Kreiczer-Levj INTRODUCTION' In this article, we consider the relevance of home sharing in family formation. When couples or groups of persons are recognized as families, they are afforded significant benefits and given certain obligations by the law.4 Families have their own category of laws, rights, and obligations.' Currently, the law of family formation and recognition is in a state of flux. Although in some respects the defining legal lines of the family have been well settled for centuries around blood and the formal legal ties of marriage and parenthood, in significant ways, the family form has been fundamentally altered over the past few decades. -

The Reproductive Decision-Making of Women with Mitochondrial Disease
Julia Tonge Uncertain Existence: The reproductive decision-making of women with Mitochondrial Disease. Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Neuroscience, Newcastle University October 2017 Abstract The aim of this thesis was to understand the process of reproductive decision- making in women with maternally inherited mitochondrial disease. It demonstrates the uncertainty fundamental to the experiences of women with mitochondrial DNA mutations (a subsection of women with mitochondrial disease). This uncertainty manifests in the personal accounts of their condition, as well as in relation to their reproductive decision-making. Twenty semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with eighteen women with mitochondrial DNA mutations, sampled via their connection to a mitochondrial disease specialist service in North East England. Retrospective, prospective and hypothetical questions were utilised in data collection. The data generated from the study, which was informed by constructivist grounded theory, can be organised into two central areas, both of which can be related back to uncertainty. The first area relates to how women harbour the desire for a healthy biologically related child. The second area features decision-making, which within the context of maternally inherited mitochondrial disease, is essentially the process by which women consolidate their desires for healthy children, and how they negotiate risk. The women’s accounts highlight social aspects of uncertainty that features in their reproductive decision-making, in contrast to the current literature that focuses on more clinical aspects of uncertainty. In addition, they also demonstrate how educational and employment institutions struggle to manage the uncertainty inherent in mitochondrial disease. -
