Beskrivning
Where did the right to privacy come from and what does it mean? Grappling with the critical issues involving women and gays that relate to the recent Supreme Court appointment, Vincent J. Samar develops a definition of legal privacy, discusses the reasons why and the degree to which privacy should be protected, and shows the relationship between privacy and personal autonomy. He answers former Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork's questions about scope, content, and legal justification for a general right to privacy and emphasizes issues involving gays and lesbians, Samar maintains that these privacy issues share a common constitutional-ethical underpinning with issues such as abortion, surrogate motherhood, drug testing, and the right to die. Vincent J. Samar is Adjunct Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University of Chicago and a law professor at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago/Kent College of Law. A practicing attorney, he is an activist in Chicago's gay and lesbian communities.

Recensioner i media

"[Samar] offers a powerful and plausible defense of the legitimacy of the judicial inference of the constitutional right to privacy...eloquently defends its application to abortion, and persuasively criticizes the Supreme Court for failing to extend the concept to consensual adult homosexual relations."-Ethics "Vincent J. Samar, drawing upon the law, philosophy, and political science has made a major scholarly contribution to the consideration of privacy and individual rights."-Michael O. Sawyer, Syracuse University "[This book] puts the problems of privacy into a broader, deeper philosophical framework of human rights. It is very sophisticated in its knowledge and use of legal materials and in the very insightful way in which it interprets these in the light of philosophical principles. The book should have an impact on legal theorists, philosophers, and the general public."-Alan Gewirth, University of Chicago
