The Journal of Law and Health (Cleveland-Marshall) invites submissions for its Annual Symposium: The Legal and Ethical Implications of Posthumous Reproduction. The submission deadline is October 1, 2012.
Recently, in Astrue v. Capato, the Supreme Court held that children conceived through in vitro fertilization after the death of a parent were not automatically entitled to survivor benefits under the Social Security law. The Court stated that the children’s eligibility to receive the benefits depended upon their ability to inheritance under the state’s intestacy system.
Areas of interest for this special journal issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
Please submit a 600-word abstract describing your topic and a copy of your curriculum vitae by October 1, 2012 to Journal of Law and Health at health.journal@law.csuohio.edu. Please include “Submission: Annual Symposium” in the subject line. The symposium is tentatively scheduled for March 2013.
