The University of Virginia case involving alleged violations of the Human Cloning Act (HCA) is one of the most complex investigations the BORS has faced. The case involved diverse legal issues that raised questions of whether the HCA and the BORS legal authority is sufficient to handle such complex cases that might arise in the future. Consequently, the BORS has been in consultation with U.S. Congressional committees about the question of expanding the scope of the BORS authority.

U.S. Congress is proposing a congressional amendment to the HCA that would delegate all judicial review and legislative authority to the BORS relevant to human cloning.

Holland has tasked you with researching and analyzing the constitutionality of a proposed amendment delegating this judicial and legislative authority to the BORS.

Facts: As a general rule, state law governs private and commercial transactions. U.S. Congress, however, is proposing an amendment to the HCA that would delegate broad legislative and judicial authority to the BORS. Under this amendment, the BORS would adjudicate all claims and counterclaims for any disputes that arise out of, or related to, commercial transactions between entities for buying and selling of laboratory and medical instruments, techniques, and research procedures on human cloning.

This judicial review authority would include all common law claims and counterclaims relevant to these human cloning commercial transactions. The counterclaims might be ancillary to, and dependent upon, the original claim, but this is not a requirement under the amendment.

The amendment to the HCA would give the BORS exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate these claims and counterclaims. In addition, the BORS could order all parties to the claims to comply with the BORS adjudication decisions relevant to these claims and counterclaims. A primary check on the proposed BORS’ adjudication authority is that its decisions would be subject to arbitrary and capricious judicial review by the U.S. State Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Also, any parties subject to the BORS judicial decisions could petition the U.S. Supreme Court via a Writ of Certiorari.

Instructions: Prepare a legal memorandum that analyzes the constitutionality of a Congressional amendment that delegates judicial and legislative authority to the BORS, as described above in Facts.

The memorandum must analyze and address:

(1) whether the proposed congressional amendment would violate Article III of the U.S. Constitution and why;analysis must compare and contrast, and present arguments for both sides of this legal issue.

(2) whether U.S. Congress could change the amendment to increase the likelihood that the U.S. Supreme Court would conclude that the amendment is constitutional under Article III of the U.S. Constitution and why;specifically explain why/how any changes could increase the likelihood that the U.S. Supreme Court would find the amendment constitutional under Article III of the U.S. Constitution.

Why does Jeff participate in Abnesti’s project at Spiderhead? Has he chosen to participate? Thanks to Verbaluce, Jeff is able to wax poetic about loving Heather. He refers to his deepest longing fulfilled (50-51)? Does Jeff love Heather?

Understanding Free Will vs Determinism – How can we know we have free will? Gaining an understanding of this timeless philosophical problem is our main objective.

George Saunders’ “Escape from Spiderhead” is a dystopian short story that portrays a controlled pharmacological environment in which scientists experimentally manipulate the desires and emotions of human subjects. We are confronted with the question whether the chemical cocktails produced by our brains grant greater freedom than Spiderhead. Sanders’ riveting story is thought-provoking and challenges us to probe the topic of free will and determinism.

How does the story reinforce your preferred position on free will? How can the story challenge your preferred position on free will? Explain.
Brief Definition of Positions on Free Will:

Hard Determinism – People’s actions are causally necessitated and their actions are therefore unfree.
Compatiblism – Although all actions are caused, people act with free will and are morally responsible whenever they are not constrained or forced to perform the action.
Deep Compatiblism – People are free only if only if they act on desires they truly want to act on (i.e., desires that move people are genuinely “their own”).
Libertarianism – People’s actions are not causally necessitated. People have special powers to cause their actions and are morally responsible for their choices.
Essay Questions:
Why does Jeff participate in Abnesti’s project at Spiderhead? Has he chosen to participate?
Thanks to Verbaluce, Jeff is able to wax poetic about loving Heather. He refers to his deepest longing fulfilled (? Does Jeff love Heather? If not, how is genuine love different from what Jeff experiences? Abnesti says, “Say someone can’t love? Now he or she can” . Does the project at Spiderhead support Abnesti’s claim?
Why does Abnesti tell Jeff to make a decision whether Rachel or Heather should get Darkenfloxx? What is Jeff’s decision? Does he make it freely? Explain.
What was Jeff’s fateful night? In what sense was it “fateful”?
How does Jeff “doink with [Abnesti’s] experimental design integrity”?
Why does Jeff feel “a little jerked around”?
Does Jeff freely participate in the Confirmation Trial? The test reveals that he no longer feels any romantic love toward Heather. Verlaine says that he’s showing “just pretty much basic human feeling.” What is the difference between feelings that belong to Jeff and those s(t)imulated by the study?
Saying “acknowledge” implies permission, but why would it be misleading to call this consent?
Does Jeff choose his fate at the end of the story? Is it completely up to him?

Recognize all of the risk schedules and analytics that we already used in Units 4.3-4.5 on interest rate risk, forex risk and liquidity. Interpret the ALM analytics and review the financial performance and exposures of Bank of Commerce under various scenario assumptions.

For this case study, we will use the CALMPRO global financial model that we first introduced in Unit 4.3. You will immediately recognize all of the risk schedules and analytics that we already used in Units 4.3-4.5 on interest rate risk, forex risk and liquidity. For this case, we will actually use the newer Release 4, called the ALMPRO. The ALMPRO adds more deposit and lending product slots, additional interest rate risk hedging opportunities using bond futures and now also models the mark-to-market replacement cost of derivative hedging instruments.

However, this case is not about studying the formulas in the ALMPRO, instead we would like you to interpret the ALM analytics and review the financial performance and exposures of Bank of Commerce under various scenario assumptions.
In order to keep data entry to a minimum, the baseline scenario is already fully captured. You will also notice that most helper sheets and any other risk schedules and date ranges that will not be relevant for the case have been hidden, giving the ALMPRO a cleaner and more manageable look. All sheets are locked against accidental overwriting, leaving only the green shaded data fields open for changes. However, you can always unhide a cell range or worksheet, if you really want to dig deeper. There is no password required to unlock or unhide a sheet (Review -> Unprotect Sheet. Right-click on any sheet tab -> unhide).
The baseline data for December 2018 – December 2020 is in the file CERM15_Case3_Base.xlsx. The file is configured to reflect the operating history and financial forecast for the fictitious Bank of Commerce that operates as a full-service Retail/SME/Corporate bank in Egypt. Bank of Commerce is majority owned by Sparklays Bank UK. The baseline ALMPRO file contains all necessary information about Bank of Commerce including the applicable prudential limits, policy constraints and the most binding covenants. What is captured in the baseline version of the tool is the operating history for 2019 and the 2020 business plan of Bank of Commerce.

State the specific issue you will explore. This must be stated either as a question (“Should prostitution be legalized?”) or a whether-or-not statement (“Whether prostitution should be legalized”).

Over the eight weeks of the course, you will work on a paper that addresses a current controversial issue. This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You will select a topic, choose an issue related to that topic, thoroughly research both sides of the issue, and then write a paper that supports one side or the other of the issue. Your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules.

Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course:

Legalization of prostitution

  • State the topic chosen from the list or topic approved by instructor.
  • State the specific issue you will explore.
    • This must be stated either as a question (“Should prostitution be legalized?”) or a whether-or-not statement (“Whether prostitution should be legalized”).
  • For the stated issue, state three (3) aspects of the issue that you think you will likely develop in your paper. Briefly state why you have chosen each aspect.
    • You are not confined to three aspects only, but you must develop at least As you develop your paper, you may find other aspects that you deem more relevant, and may add or substitute those.
      • Example:For the topic of prostitution, you might examine the aspect of personal autonomy, public health aspects, and law enforcement aspects, at a minimum.
      • Example:For the topic of free healthcare for undocumented persons, you might address economic aspects, ethical aspects, and public health aspects, at a minimum.
