Defining Intellectual Disability: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and Capital Punishment


38 Rutgers L. Rec. 97 (2011) | WestLaw 1 | LexisNexis 2 | PDF 3
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that, for every 1,000 live births in the United States, there are between 0.2 and 1.5 cases of a preventable mental disorder, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS).
