The Law

This chapter looks at Recorder Frederick Augustus Tallmadge's opinion about how Henry Ballard's behavior toward Amelia Norman during the two years of their acquaintance could not be admitted as evidence. It mentions Amelia's defense, who worked to prove that her encounter with Henry Ballard had changed her from a virtuous, happy young woman to one who was in desperate trouble, miserable, and out of her mind. It also refers to defense witness John K. Liston, who described Amelia after stabbed Ballard, emphasizing how she appeared very pale and languid, and prostrate from some cause. The chapter talks about Madame Restell, the trial's celebrity witness, who caused excitement in the courtroom due to the notoriety she acquired as a target for opponents of abortion. It discusses American midwives that had long provided abortions or abortifacients to women without attention from the law.

The Law

This piece is about my experience of suicide and the systemic epistemology between culture and laws that are structured like a one size fit all ugly pair of shoes that a mother like me will wear for the rest of my life. I will speak about my experience in this heartbreaking real-life situation through the holistic views of Te Ao Maori and the law. My daughter's name is Chanelle Te Kura Waru, she was born on the 18th of July 1995. Chanelle died from an intentional overdose she was just 21 years old. Chanelle was an articulate independent young woman and she is our only child, her father and I loved her unconditionally, to the world she was just one person, to her father and I she was our world. In 2016/2017, 606 people committed suicide, 457 were males and 149 were females, the highest statistic age group is 20-24yrs. The highest suicide death by methods is hanging or overdose. Maori are the highest ethnic group recording 130 deaths in 2016/2017. May 10, 2017, is the day that I was labeled a victim and my daughter a statistic.

The Way

The main character of Volodymyr Vynnychenko’s play entitled The Law, a young woman eager to have a child, programs her life the way she desires and solves a difficult life situation, as if she were acting as her own life’s stage director. The play is a chamber family play of five characters. However, Vynnychenko’s family collisions always have a global dimension. The play expresses concern about a totalitarian mindset that tends to achieve a higher goal without considering objective laws of nature and society. The genre of the chamber play and the tragic monumentality of the plot are peculiarly combined in the work allotting it with a sort of artistic integrity. A psychologically compelling story ultimately turns into an intellectual drama and reaches the verge of tragedy. A unity of generic and stylistic aspects is to emphasize the element of play, the use of the “theatre-in-the-theatre” method while the theatre is presented as a prerogative not only of art but also of life.

Personal Case

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former? In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
