JOHN LUNSTROTH, J.D., LL.M., M.P.H. BA 1977, University of St. Thomas; Professor Lunstroth's scholarly interests are linked by the idea of Right. More abstractly he is interested in the relationship between history and law; between positivist science and law; and in sources of law. In the health sector besides being interested in the regulation of human experimentation, he is interested in how the various "ethics" (medical, neuroscientific, research, public health, genetic, etc.) come into existence, how they are maintained, and how they are linked; especially, how are they influenced or structured by scientism. His primary tools for critique are Aristotelianism and history. He integrates human rights into all his work, and is concerned to give his students tools for understanding one of the most profound political problems facing the global community. |
