  • Medical Necessity As a Defense for Crimes Against Humanity: an Examination of the Molokai Transfers
    MEDICAL NECESSITY AS A DEFENSE FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY: AN EXAMINATION OF THE MOLOKAI TRANSFERS Matthew Daly1 I. INTRODUCTION Germs, like ideas, do not recognize national borders. The current state of globalization has increased the permeability of such borders and thereby intensified the danger posed by distant viral outbreaks, as well as the intentional use of weaponized biological agents. Confronted with the threat of a natural or man-made biological catastrophe, it is conceivable that a state might respond with extreme measures that might include quarantine and isolation; confiscation and destruction of property; interference with fundamental human rights of liberty, association, and propagation; and, in the worst case, lethal triage of the afflicted. Although such a scenario may seem more farfetched than it actually is, its examination nonetheless allows one to limn the respective boundaries of the rights of the state and of its citizens. In other words, the question of the permissible state response to a lethal outbreak of such virulence as to jeopardize the existence of the state creates a scenario in which the normally complementary regimes of international law and international humanitarian law are put into conflict. The purpose of this article is to inquire whether and how it might be possible to determine the predominance of equally fundamental strictures of international humanitarian law governing individual rights or the older body of international law governing the rights and duties of the state. It will attempt to discover whether or not there exists a mechanism through which such a conflict can be resolved; more specifically, the existence of a defense of medical necessity, distinct from the doctrine of self-defense, for state actions that could constitute crimes against humanity where inaction might threaten the preservation of the state and its polity.

  • The Essential Cult Television Reader
    Red Dwarf Dee Amy-Chinn Red Dwarf is the most successful and long-running comedy yet shown on BBC2. 1 First broadcast on 15 February 1988, the show was celebrated ten years later by Red Dwarf night hosted by Jean-Luc Picard himself, Patrick Stewart, a die-hard Dwarfer. The content of that evening stands as testimony to Dwarf’s achievement of cult status, demonstrating many of the features —quizzes, trivia, shared expertise—described as key features of cult TV. 2 The evening began with a spoof version of a then-popular cookery program Can’t Cook, Won’t Cook (1995-1999), in which the cast was challenged to cook a chicken vindaloo (a mouth-burningly hot curry) —the favorite dish of lead character, Dave Lister. The Dwarf version was billed as Can’t Smeg, Won’t Smeg (smeg being a generic term of abuse within the show—as in “smeg-head” 3) and given added resonance for fans as Can’t Cook, Won’t Cook ’s regular host—TV Chef Ainsley Harriot —had made a well disguised appearance as the Gelf Chief in the Season Six episode “Emohawk—Polymorph II” (6.4). This was followed by a version of another popular BBC show, a Dwarf-themed University Challenge (1962-present), in which members of the cast lost (not surprisingly) to a team of Dwarf fans. Another special, Red Dwarf A-Z saw famous fans including Stewart, Stephen Hawking, and Terry Pratchett focusing on different aspects of the show. The evening concluded with a screening of the Emmy award -winning episode “Gunmen of the Apocalypse” (6.3).
