Case 1: There are two types of surrogacy. One type involves a surrogate mother who uses her own egg and carries the baby for someone else. The other type is a "gestational surrogacy" in which the mother has no genetic tie to the child she carries. In the case presented, a gestational surrogate is used. A woman, after a bout with uterine cancer had a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). Before, its removal, however, she had several eggs removed for possible fertilization in the future. Now married, the woman wishes to have a child with her husband. Obviously she cannot bear the child herself, so the couple utilizes a company to find a surrogate mother for them. The husband's sperm is used to fertilize one of the wife's eggs, and is implanted in the surrogate mother. The couple pays all of the woman's pregnancy-related expenses and an extra $18,000 as compensation for her surrogacy. After all expenses are taken into account the couple pays the woman approximately $31,000 and the agency approximately $5,000. Though the surrogate passed stringent mental testing to ensure she was competent to carry another couple's child, after carrying the pregnancy to term, the surrogate says that she has become too attached to "her" child to give it up to the couple. A legal battle ensues. 1. In many countries, it is illegal to pay a person for non-replenishable organs. The fear is that money will influence the poor to harm their bodies for the benefit of the rich. Do you see a parallel between this case and this law? Can allowing surrogate mothers to be paid for their troubles allow poorer women to be oppressed? why? 2. Does paying the surrogate harm her and/or the child's dignity? Why? 3. Is it selfish/conceited for this couple to want children of their own genetic make-up? If yes, does this change if you can "easily" have a child? Why? 4. One of the main arguments against the use of surrogate mothers is that carrying and giving birth to a child is such an emotional event that it is impossible to determine if the surrogate will be able to give up the child. Though adults enter into the contract, the child could ultimately suffer if a long custody battle ensues (as it could in states where surrogacy contracts hold no legal value, such as Virginia). With the possibility of such battles, do you think it is acceptable for parents to use a surrogate mother? Why? 5. Who do you think should receive the child, and why?

An inventor and owner of an innovative company that sells woodworking machinery and tools read an article about the hearing loss woodworkers commonly suffered due to the extremely loud machinery. He was struck with the “perfect” idea: a noiseless power saw, which would not only help humanity by helping to save the hearing of millions of woodworkers, but which was also certain to yield a large profit. The inventor researched companies working to develop quieter engines and discovered a little-known manufacturer whose owner had invented an unusually quiet engine The inventor believed it could be adapted for power saws and other machinery. His only concern was whether the “silent” engine would be powerful enough to cut through all types of wood. After extensive negotiations, the inventor agreed to purchase 5,000 “silent” engines for $50 each, to be shipped to the inventor’s warehouse with his having prepaid the shipping cost. The purchase and sale agreement stipulated that each engine must be powerful enough to allow the saw to cut through both hard and soft woods of all types. The contract further provided that the manufacturer would deliver the engines in lots of 500 units each month, beginning on October 1, and that he would pay for each lot within 48 hours of delivery. After the first shipment of engines was delivered to the warehouse on October 1, the inventor sent the manufacturer a $25,000 check. However, after testing all 500 engines, the inventor found that not a single engine was capable of producing the power necessary to cut all types of wood. The inventor notified the manufacturer that he was hereby rejecting the engines already delivered and that he would reject all future deliveries because the engines did not meet the minimum power requirements. With regards to the 500 engines delivered to the inventor, what amount of damages can the inventor recover and/or what remedies are available to hi.?

A、(A) Two-thirds of the $25,000 he paid for the engines.

B、(B) The entire $25,000 he paid for the engines, but he cannot resell the engines.

C、(C) The entire $25,000 he paid for the engines, or he can resell the engines.

D、(D) No damages.

Americans often say that there are only two things a person can be sure of in life: death and taxes.Many people feel that the United States has the worst taxes in the world.

The second tax is for the state government: New York, California, or any of the other forty -eight states; Some states have an income tax similar to that of the federal government.Of course, the percentage for the state tax is lower.Other states have a sales tax, which is a percentage charged to any item which people buy in the state.Some states use income tax and sales tax to raise their revenues( 税收 ).The third tax is for the city.This tax comes in two forms: property tax (residents who own a home have to pay taxes on it and excise

tax( 货物税 ), which is collected on vehicles in a city.The cities use this money for education, police, public works, etc.
