Autonomia Jednostki W Międzynarodowym Prawie Agata Wnukiewicz-Kozłowska Wybór tematu recenzowanej monografii należy uznać za wyjątkowo trafny. Aktualność i doniosłość poznawcza podjętej problematyki, a tak- że, co ważne, również jej wartość praktyczna, nie budzą wątpliwości. Syn- tetyczny tytuł pracy jest w pełni adekwatny, dobrze oddaje jej zawartość Agata Wnukiewicz-Kozłowska i główną ideę. [...] Całość rozważań zawartych w monografii koncentruje się na uzasad- nieniu jej głównej tezy o wykształceniu się nowego rodzaju prawa, wywo- Autonomia jednostki w międzynarodowym prawie biomedycznym dzącego się z prawa międzynarodowego publicznego oraz uwzględniają- cego klasyczny kanon praw i wolności jednostki, ale charakteryzującego się istotną odrębnością przedmiotową i specyfiką podmiotową. [...] za- prezentowane w pracy bardzo szerokie uzasadnienie głównej tezy jest wyjątkowo solidne, wszechstronne i przekonywające. Zostało ono oparte Autonomia na imponującym pod względem wielkości i różnorodności materiale ze- branym i wykorzystanym przez Autorkę w toku badań. [...] poza bardzo jednostki licznymi źródłami prawa w ścisłym tego słowa znaczeniu (traktaty, akty w prawa UE, ustawy i inne akty normatywne) w pracy wykorzystano boga- te orzecznictwo sądów międzynarodowych i krajowych, różnego rodzaju międzynarodowym dokumenty, wyniki badań empirycznych, a nawet materiały publicystycz- ne. Autorka dostrzegła i uwzględniła rosnącą, choć ciągle jeszcze niedo- prawie określoną rolę soft law. To bogactwo materiału wykorzystanego w pracy biomedycznym jest jej niewątpliwą zaletą. z recenzji wydawniczej dr. hab.

  • Care of Dying Children and Adults. Ethics, Principles and Issues for Law Reform
    Catholic Medical Quarterly Volume 68(3) August 2018 www.cmq.org.uk Care of dying children and adults. Ethics, principles and issues for law reform Dr Adrian Treloar, FRCP, MRCPych, MRCGP Background The cases of Alfie Evans, Charlie Gard, Charlotte Wyatt, David Glass and Ayesha King have all hit headlines and reverberated around the world. Many have been shocked to see doctors applying to the courts in order to curtail treatment against the clearly expressed wishes of the child's parents. Fierce public debates have raged about the appropriateness of withdrawing treatment but even more strongly about also the denial of parents’ wishes when plans they have made for their child do not appear unreasonable. Whilst public debate on the appropriateness of withdrawing treatment from the child has been fierce that debate has been yet more fierce on the denial of the parents' wishes to have the treatment continued even though their wishes do not appear unreasonable My conclusion is that while limitation of treatment and withdrawal of some treatments is appropriate, the de facto removal of parental authority as a result of referral to the High Court is wrong, and deeply unjust. As well as that, I argue that, in the case of Alfie Evans, the decision by the High Court to deny transfer to other care facilities is deeply concerning and should not have happened. Key issues in the care of dying children and adults Underlying those conclusions and within all the complexity of the debates there are several key issues each of which I explore further in this paper.

The Institute of Clinical Bioethics, Saint Joseph’s University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Keywords: Charlie Gard, comparative culture, Richard McCormick, medical futility. Abstract: The 2017 story of Charlie Gard is revisited. Upon the British High Court’s ruling in favor of the physicians that the infant should be allowed to die without the experimental treatment, the view of the public as well as the opinions of bioethicists and Catholic bishops are divided, interestingly along with a cultural line. American bioethicists and Catholic bishops tend to believe that the parents should have the final say while British/European bioethicists and Catholic bishops in general side with the court’s decision. The paper explores the place of culture in bioethical reasoning between the UK/Europe and the US while claiming that cultural differences are more important than geopolitical or religious differences to understand the bioethical positions of a group. In addition, the authors introduce a decision-making program for handicapped neonates which is developed by the American Jesuit Bioethicist, Richard McCormick, and modified further by the contemporary American Jesuit Bioethicist, Peter A.

  • The Charlie Gard Case
    CHAPTER 1 The Charlie Gard case ‘Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop.’ Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll Shortly after three o’clock on the 28th of July 2017, in a private room of a specialised hospice in suburban London, staff disconnected the breathing machine that was keeping alive 11-month-old infant Charlie Gard. Lying on either side of him, his parents Connie Yates and Chris Gard held his hands, leaned close and talked to him. They spoke to him of how proud they were of him. They saw him open his eyes briefly, and close them. Minutes later Charlie’s heart stopped, and he was gone.1 This was the conclusion – quiet, private and fleeting – to a dispute about medical treatment that had been none of those things. In the preceding 4 months, a protracted series of court hearings around disputed treatment for Charlie Gard had yielded global media attention and an outpouring of sympathy from onlookers around the world. It had attracted statements of support from many public figures, including US President Trump and the Pope. Charlie’s parents had been seeking experimental treatment that might improve his rare genetic condition. They had raised funds for him to travel to the US, where a medical specialist had offered to provide treatment. Many observers could not understand why the doctors at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital opposed the requested treatment. Many found it hard to see why the UK and European courtsa had decided against Charlie’s parents and authorised withdrawal of life support.

  • The Charlie Gard Case, and the Ethics of Obstructing International Transfer of Seriously Ill Children Dominic Wilkinson, MBBS, Dphil
    The Charlie Gard Case, and the Ethics of Obstructing International Transfer of Seriously Ill Children Dominic Wilkinson, MBBS, DPhil abstract In 2017, the court case over medical treatment of UK infant, Charlie Gard, reached global attention. In this article, I will analyze one of the more distinctive elements of the case. The UK courts concluded that treatment of Charlie Gard was not in his best interests and that it would be permissible to withdraw life-sustaining treatment. However, in addition, the court ruled that Charlie should not be transferred overseas for the treatment that his parents sought, even though specialists in Italy and the US were willing to provide that treatment. Is it ethical to prevent parents from pursuing life-prolonging treatment overseas for their children? If so, when is it ethical to do this? I will outline arguments in defense of obstructing transfer in some situations. I will argue, however, that this is only justified if there is good reason to think that the proposed treatment would cause harm. Faculty of Philosophy, Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom; John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, United Kingdom; and Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Dr Wilkinson conceptualized and designed the study, drafted the initial manuscript, and approved the final manuscript as submitted.
