Kort Linden Business Law Professor Craig P. Ehrlich 10/29/07 Law and the Children Born of Technology Imagine a husband and wife, and the husband is dying of leukemia. Before undergoing radiation and subsequently dying, he preserves sperm for later use. After his death, the wife proceeds to have a child through artificial insemination. We call this posthumous conception. When the wife applies for social security survivor benefits for her child, she is denied. This is a true life scenario, and when the rights of posthumously conceived children arise, the courts have an interesting legal problem. Currently, most state and national statutes and legislation are inadequate to deal with these issues which just a few decades ago were unforeseeable. In order to better understand the entitlements... 01/11/2009

Either way through “passion, great passion” any young person can break the dispassionate, unmotivated mold that defines the more recent generations. For many this passion starts after high school, but I had an early start. A dominant image comes to mind when I recall my earliest passion: A small freckled faced, strawberry blond boy watching my parents feverishly tossing around one of their many business ventures. They both pause, turning to me with those parent-like indulgent smiles. My mom says, “What’s the most important rule in business Korty?” Without hesitation, I reply as I had many times before, “Buy low, sell high.” I was two years old. I’m not sure whether I was born with ... 01/11/2009
