While medical practitioners live to save others’ lives, some cases may not be as kind to their honorable intentions. The problems that were posed by medical futility had always spark issues of morality, ethics and laws. The paper aims to address the laws governing any medical practitioner’s actions towards medical futility which is likely to result in the death of the patient. It will look into the current laws of four nations namely Malaysia, England, the United States of America and Indonesia, with special consideration towards Islamic Jurisprudence by referring to the opinions of various scholars and jurists. This paper has come into being through the studies of many literary articles, law cases, analyzing related statutes and studying the common practices of the previously stated nations. The paper had reached some fundamental outcomes which are: Malaysia and its mother land England shares similar practice in which withholding and withdrawal of treatment is considered lawful when faced with medical futility. As for the United States of America, some states adopted laws regulating end-of-life decisions, providing guidelines and proper sanctions for non-compliance which is contrary to Indonesia which do not have a specific regulation in dealing with medical futility cases. From the Islamic law perspective, scholars had advised that heavy consideration should be given according to the Maqasid Syariah by adhering to the hierarchy of fiqh of looking after necessities, then needs, and then embellishments.","PeriodicalId":298750,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Comparative Law Review","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134304168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, 11.3% of 2.68 million infant mortality caused by birth defects. South-East Asia region has the second highest prevalence of birth defects in the world, 9% of under-five deaths and 12% of newborn deaths in South-East Asia Region were due to congenital anomalies in 2015. In response to this, some countries have established law to prevent children from congenital anomalies. In fact, genetic is not the single factor causing the congenital anomalies. In many cases they were also the result of wrongful conduct of persons. The United Kingdom, for example, had passed a law to deal with the issue of congenital anomalies since 1976. Considering the above-mentioned statistic of birth defects in South-East Asia region, Indonesia have to take an action to prevent or reduce their occurrence. The paper aims to explore the possible ways to prevent the congenital anomalies in Indonesia. It is found that the prevention of congenital anomalies can be made through legal instruments. Unfortunately, the existing law, including the Child Protection Act, do not cover such an issue. With regard to this, the reform upon the law relating to it is urgent. For this purpose, learning from other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom seems to be necessary.","PeriodicalId":298750,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Comparative Law Review","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115089239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other than that, the legal issues to be studied were the implications brought upon the healthcare and judicial system in the respective countries as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each test propounded. It was found that previously the welfare of the patient in regards to their right to receive information (especially risks) regarding their medical treatment was only up to the discretion of the medical practitioner and other members of the medical profession, which eliminates liability against a negligent doctor if it was found that other members of the medical community would have done the same as him. It was not until the case of Rogers v Whitaker that the spectrum widened and allowed the courts to determine that whatever that should be disclosed to the patient must be something that the patient attaches significant risk to, this is then named the “Prudent Patient Test”, used by most countries in this study. The study finds that as an implication, most countries have departed from the previous paternalistic approach by doctors and as an advantage, encouraged individualism and the reduction of the patients as passive recipients in their own health care. Since most of the comparative countries are similar in application, it was found that the medical law envisioned and enforced in the respective countries was quite different compared to the civil legal system in Indonesia. Other than that, as a country that is highly ingrained with Islamic values of life, the perspective of human rights and individualism in Indonesia is distinct with most of the other countries studied .","PeriodicalId":298750,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Comparative Law Review","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121825068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the EU, the proposal for a Council Directive on the Digital Services Tax (DST) projects for a 3% tax chargeable on the revenues generated by corporations surpassing a certain threshold of global and EU yearly revenues. The initial plan is to tax these corporations with respect to their online placement of advertising, enabling of online marketplaces, and sales of collected user data. While the EU organs are still undergoing the due legislative processes on the proposal, two flaws of the DST may be argued, namely that it conflates features of direct taxes (i.e. income tax) with that of indirect taxes (i.e. value added tax); and that it embeds covert discriminatory measures against certain multinational corporations. The maturation of the DST depends on the formulation of sound legal principles and ingenious concept which would hallmark a DST regime from the corporate income tax one.","PeriodicalId":298750,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Comparative Law Review","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125836850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some argue that Indonesia shall be a unitary state in name, pursuant to Article 1 Para. III of the Indonesian Constitution, but Constitutional reforms after 1998 when the autocratic President Gen. Soeharto stepped down granted broad authority to local government, leading Indonesia to a quasi-federation situation in practice. On the other hand, some stick to the aforementioned Article, insisting that decentralization embedded in the Constitution Article 18 Para. II is by no means making Indonesia federal. This article takes the Act No. 13 of 2012 on Special Region of Yogyakarta (the Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta) granting autonomy to Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta as a case study to argue for the latter, asserting that the case merely exemplifies the decentralization characteristic embedded in the Constitution. This paper first examines the political features of federalism through a historical legal perspective, showing that the current state system in Indonesia is decentralized but not federalized. This paper concludes that the recognition of Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta as an autonomous region is simply a practice of constitutional decentralization. This paper also higlights that with recent political development, echoing that the decentralization theory is not a product of legal interpretation, but a constitutional and political reality.","PeriodicalId":298750,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Comparative Law Review","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116995632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
