Associate Dean for Faculty Development and Operations and Professor of Law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at 糖心vlog短视频, Emily Waldman, noted, 糖心vlog短视频淪ince joining our faculty last year, James Toomey has continued to establish himself as an exciting new scholar writing at the intersection of bioethics, health law, private law theory, and elder law. In his prize-winning article, "Property's Boundaries," he brings together questions of bioethics and property by analyzing how to think about ownership rights in body-related things like cells, genes, organs, embryos, and more. Do I own, for instance, the information in my genes? What about my blood cells themselves? These questions are becoming more pressing than ever before, in light of new scientific research and developments, and Professor Toomey provides a thoughtful and pragmatic framework for how courts should approach these types of questions. We are very proud to see his work recognized by our distinguished panel of external judges."
