Three of this volume's five essays are from the Symposium on Law and Disability. They cover HIV/AIDS, obesity, and stigma: a new era for non-discrimination law; putting the "right to die" in its place: disability rights and physician-assisted suicide in the context of US end-of-life care; and prenatal testing and disability rights: challenging the "genetic suicide." The other topics are the extent to which Pyler v. Doe is an effective protection for the right to education for irregular migrant children in the contemporary US, and a brave new British citizenry: reconceptualizing children's acquisition of British citizenship.
