 1 As the summer   approaches the Institute continues to be extremely busy. A large number of excellent articles
were submitted for the upcoming addition of the Health Law Journal making the selection process for this volume
particularly difficult. The Journal, which will be published in early fall, will contain articles on a wide range of topics
such as: Prospects for New Zealand's Internal Market; Dying with Dignity and Death with Dignity; and Genetic
Screening and  Testing in Canada. In addition to these, and other peer reviewed articles, we will be publishing
several articles from an Institute research project entitled Health Reform in Alberta: A Health Law Perspective.

2  Our research activities are continuing to expand. In fact, we have recently commenced work on several exciting
new  research endeavours,  including: Fiduciary Law and the Allocation of Health Care Resources (funded by
Small  Faculties Research Grant  Program); Commercialization and  Human   Genetics in Canada  (funded  by
Canadian  Genome   Analysis and Technology  Program); and Pediatric Genetics: An Evolving Legal and Ethical
Framework  (funded by The Hospital for Sick Children Foundation). This last project is being undertaken with our
research partners at the CRDP, University of Montreal. It also includes collaborators from Ontario, British Columbia
and the United States.

3   Plans for the upcoming  conference DNA   Sampling: Human   Genetic  Research: Ethical, Legal and Policy
Aspects, are going well (Montreal, September 6-8, 1996). We anticipate -- and hope -- the many internationally
recognized speakers will attract a large and diverse audience (e.g., Ruth Chadwick (U.K.), Thomas Murray (U.S.A.),
Bernard Dickens (Canada), Patricia Baird (Canada), Lori B. Andrews (U.S.A.), Darryl Macer (Japan), and Rebecca
Eisenberg (U.S.A.).
