Re: International lawFrom: Robert J. Carpenter, Jr. MD (zygote@icsi.net)Thu Sep 15 23:08:12 2005
The recent opinion concenring the execution of minors is a great example. The court looked at other countries and used their laws as a reason to ban that practice. The dissent of Thomas and Scalia who I generally disagree with was actually on point. Justice O'Connoir concurred but separately. In the Texas case concerning Mexican death row inmates they actually upheld the Universal Human Rights act which required nations to inform the consult of the arrest of their citizen. The court applied it to the state. Again the dissent by Scalia, Thomas, and I believe Kennedy was on the mark. The treaties are respected as a part of our jurisprudence, sometimes whether we like it or not as individuals. For those interested in the actual case let me know privately, and I will forward.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
