A selection of constitutional perspectives on human kidney salesVenter, Bonnie 13 November 2012 (has links)
There are thousands of desperate people globally who need a kidney for
transplantation. The number of people who require a kidney transplant continues to
escalate faster than the number of kidneys available for a transplant. The aim of this
dissertation is to examine and analyse the judicial framework pertaining to kidney
transplants in South Africa. The examination is conducted within the framework of the
South African Constitution and the National Health Act 61 of 2003. The specific focus of
this dissertation is to determine whether the payment of kidney donors could be
regarded as constitutionally acceptable. A comparative study is undertaken, with
Singapore and Iran as a background against which recommendations for the South
African regulatory framework are made. The most important finding is that people should
at least be granted the choice whether they would prefer to receive payment for their
kidney donations or not. / Jurisprudence / LL.M.

The evaluation of the implementation of HIV-AIDS policies at school level with particular focus on discrimination and stigma amongst educatorsMokwatlo, Elizabeth Maboakae 30 June 2006 (has links)
Against the background of evidence that HIV-AIDS has had and continues to have
an enormous impact on all South African schools, a need has arisen for HIV -AIDS
policies and programmes to be effectively implemented in all schools. In this study, a
qualitative methodology was used to evaluate policy implementation in the North
West province. Data was gathered by means of field notes, observation and
interviews with management and educators. The study found that although principals
and educators are knowledgeable about HIV -AIDS, there is a tendency to
discriminate against infected educators, particularly in terms of educator workload.
This study also revealed that educators fear being accidentally exposed to HIV -AIDS
infected blood, despite the guidelines given in the National HIV -AIDS policy and the
availability of emergency first aid kits. The key thought emerging from this study is
that not all schools are able to deal effectively with HIV -AIDS and that schools
urgently need to plan or implement their own policies in this regard. School-based
HIV-AIDS policies can only be successful if they take cognisance of local contextual
issues and involve the three spheres of influence in the lives of educators and
learners, namely, the sphere of the school, the sphere of family life and the sphere of
the community. / Sociology / M.A.(Social and Behavioural Studies in HIV-AIDS)

Legal issues relating to the treatment of persons living with cancerMaimela, Charles 06 1900 (has links)
Cancer is regarded as a global disease and one of the leading killer diseases in the
world. The reason why cancer is so widespread and often misunderstood stems from
multiple factors, namely, the lack of knowledge about cancer, unfair discrimination of
persons living with cancer, inadequate or inappropriate treatment provided to patients,
the stigma attached to cancer, misdiagnosis and late diagnosis of persons living with
cancer, as well as the inadequate provision of screening programs to detect cancer at
an early stage.
The combination of these issues raises alarming medico-legal problems that merit
further attention. The thesis will explore the origin, nature, philosophical and clinical
aspects pertaining to cancer, as well as legal issues related to cancer and oncology.
The study will conclude with recommendations aimed at mitigating and addressing the
shortcomings that exist in the medico-legal framework. The study will also draw on a
legal comparison of relevant South African, English and American laws and
regulations. Since this thesis entails focussing on medico-legal principles, the study
will draw on aspects of medical law, labour law, law of contract, law of delict,
constitutional law and criminal law. / Private Law / LL. D.
