The Roe v. Wade Decision and its Relationship to Doctor-Patient Confidentialit
This paper shall examine the ramifications of Roe v. Wade on the medico-legal standard of privacy, specifically the privilege of doctor-patient confidentiality. The extent to which the courtÂ’s decision to predicate the Roe decision of privacy can be seen as an outgrowth that confidentiality standard, and the consequences of any weakening of the Roe decision could have on that protection shall be discussed.
