Medical Self-Defense, Organ Markets, and the Poor

Rev.) “Medical Self-Defense, Prohibited Experimental Therapies, and Payment for Organs,” which I point out because the article claims that bans on organ payments violate patients’ medical self-defense rights.

In my Sec. Reg. class, we are covering Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. One of my students raised a question today regarding Section 10(b) after Dura that left me ruminating. The student’s question was about whether a selling stockholder who sold at a profit can bring a suit after Dura if the ...
