Authors examine Wisconsin's recent revision of its child abuse and protection laws to address substance abuse by pregnant women. The new statute enables the state to take the fetus into protective custody. Authors argue that approaching fetal protection using a child abuse model creates a series of symbolic, conceptual, and practical problems of such severity as to undermine its justifiability as a public health measure.

The legal response to AIDS in Australia.

This article examines the laws in Australia which relate to AIDS, and considers whether they help or hinder the community health concern of containment of fatal diseases. The laws relating to notifications, blood and organ donations, discrimination and other provisions are canvassed. The author concludes that the legal response to AIDS in Australia is generally characterised by inconsistency, inaccuracy and confusion. The result is that the law is often counter-productive in the social and medical battle against AIDS.
