ABSTRACT CARING CHOICES: DECISION MAKING FOR CATASTROPHICALLY ILL NEWBORNS BETTY WOLDER LEVIN Decision making for catastrophically ill newborns has recently emerged as a social issue. Advances in biomedical technology and practice, and changes in other economic, social and political factors have led to controversy about norms to guide treatment choice. While much has been written on how such decisions should be made, there has been little social science research on how such decisions are actually made. The purpose of this dissertation is to elucidate the way that clinicians think about treatment decisions for catastrophically ill newborns. The focus is on decision making with respect to the limitation of treatment in those situations in which clinicians feel that an infant is terminally ill and/or severely impaired.

  • When You Read This, You'll Have an Advantage. You Will Know
    1 Prelude March 2010 hen you read this, you’ll have an advantage. you will know who won. As i begin to write, however, i’m not even sure W who’s running. That the republican candidate for the United states senate from pennsylvania in 2010 will be forty-eight-year- old patrick Joseph Toomey, sr., of Zionsville in the lehigh valley is the only certainty. Well, that and the likelihood that this race will prove to be among the most compelling of a particularly tumultuous election year. Who wouldn’t want to write about it? Toomey’s opponent, to be determined in the may 18 Democratic primary, will be either the five-term incumbent, eighty-year-old Arlen specter of philadelphia, or fifty-eight-year-old former admiral and Congressman Joseph A. sestak, Jr., of secane, Delaware County, in the philadelphia suburbs. For Toomey, facing specter in the 2010 general election would represent a peculiar rematch of their very close primary contest in 2004. There is nothing new about trying to define each party’s ideologi- cal distinctions. Almost five decades ago Barry Goldwater pledged “a choice, not an echo.” some three decades before that, when the power of his improbable new Deal electoral coalition was at its height, Frank- lin roosevelt mused about party realignment, on the english style, with everyone on the right united under the republican banner, and all those on the left (a perpetual majority, he hoped) gathered under the great tent 2 / Chapter 1 of the Democrats. it never happened. But, in whatever form, the two-party system has survived, despite the occasional emergence of a George Wallace or ross perot.

  • Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President
    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Jon R. Bond Texas A&M University [email protected] and Manny Teodoro Texas A&M University [email protected] Prepared for Presentation at the 115th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Political Science Association August 29 – September 1, 2019 Washington, DC Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Abstract Conventional indicators reported in CQ’s 2017 Presidential Support Study show that President Trump racked up a “Record Success Rate”, winning 100 percent of House votes on which he expressed a position. Although presidency scholars have long recognized that winning roll call votes is not an indication of presidential influence, Trump’s unconventional style and his willful ignorance of Congress and basic details of the policies he “supports” lead us to question whether the results of roll call votes should even be interpreted as presidential success. Including this unconventional president in the study of a still small n of presidents requires innovative indicators that do not rely exclusively on traditional Presidential Support Scores that compare members on a static zero to 100 scale. Taking cues from FiveThirtyEight and from the field of sabermetrics, this paper presents two novel metrics that estimate whether House members’ support for the 11 elected presidents from Eisenhower to Trump is higher or lower than should be expected relative to differing political conditions. One metric, Support Above Expectations (SAE), estimates whether members’ presidential support is higher or lower than should be expected given electoral conditions, partisanship, polarization. This metric builds on 538’s “Trump plus-minus” score.

  • Pennsylvania's Political Odd Couple November 18, 2004 by Dr
    Pennsylvania's Political Odd Couple November 18, 2004 by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young Will a Democrat ever win a Senate seat in Pennsylvania again? Joe Hoeffel's recent loss to Arlen Specter was just the latest in a string of regular election defeats for Democrats in this State going back to 1962. The last time a Democratic candidate won a full term in Pennsylvania, John Kennedy was in the White House, a guy named Bill Scranton had just been elected Governor of Pennsylvania, and George W. Bush was 16 years old. That was a long time ago. But apparently not long enough for state Democrats to figure out how to beat their Republican opponents. And the list is a long one: Hugh Scott, Richard Schweiker, John Heinz, Arlen Specter, and Rick Santorum. Collectively these long serving US Senators were elected and re-elected over the better part of a half century-- in spite of the fact that Democrats have been the majority party in the state for the past 40 years. There are many theories advanced to explain why the GOP dispatches its Democratic opponents with so much consistency. Some believe it's the Republicans edge in raising funds for campaigns. Some say it's a superior organization. Others argue that Republicans simply nominate better candidates. And there are other explanations as well. But one reason is really no mystery at all; when the going gets tough, Republicans stick together. This prominent party trait has been clearly on display lately as the furies have been unleashed on Pennsylvania's junior US Senator, Rick Santorum, for his unwavering support of the state's senior Senator Arlen Specter's bid to be selected as the next Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
