The DMC is affiliated with the medical schools of Wayne State University and Michigan State University.  Detroit Medical Center hospitals are staffed by physicians from the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, which is ranked 17th in the nation in primary care, and the Wayne State University School of Medicine, the largest single-campus medical school in the United States, and the nation’s fourth largest medical school overall.  Detroit Medical Center is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Graduated with a M.S. in Virology from the University of Kansas and a Ph.D. in Immunology from Yale University.  Mattman has taught Immunology, Microbiology, Bacteriology, Virology and Pathology.  She worked for 35 years in these fields at various schools and institutions including Harvard University, Howard Hughes Institute, Oakland University and Wayne State University.  She was a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biological Sciences at Wayne State University in Detroit where she was engaged in research and lecturing.  She has served as President of the Michigan Branch of the American Society for Microbiology, as Chairman of the Medical Division of the Michigan Academy of Sciences, and held various offices in the local chapter of Sigma Xi. The University of Wisconsin–Madison (also known as University of Wisconsin, Wisconsin, UW, or regionally as UW–Madison, or simply Madison) is a public research university in Madison, Wisconsin, United States.  Founded when Wisconsin achieved statehood in 1848, UW–Madison is the official state university of Wisconsin, and the flagship campus of the University of Wisconsin System.  It was the first public university established in Wisconsin and remains the oldest and largest public university in the state.  It became a land-grant institution in 1866.  The 933 acre main campus includes four National Historic Landmarks. The argument from marginal cases (also known as the argument from species overlap) is a philosophical argument within animal rights theory regarding the moral status of non-human animals.  Its proponents hold that if human infants, the senile, the comatose, and the cognitively disabled have direct moral status, animals must have a similar status, since there is no known morally relevant ability that those marginal-case humans have that animals lack.  "Moral status" may refer to a right not to be killed or made to suffer, or to a general moral requirement to be treated in a certain way. The Frederick Linsell House of Fine Performing and Communication Arts is a landmark building on the campus of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.  Originally located on the corner of 2nd and Putnam, the two-story Georgian style home was constructed for Frederick and Rosa Linsell in 1904, by architect John C. Stahl at a cost of $9,000.  The Linsells lived there for 10 years before selling it.  After serving as a home for two more families, the building was bought by the Detroit Board of Education in the 1930s.  In 1939 the building became the Women’s Study Building for the university.  It was the only building of 16 on its block that survived the expansion of Wayne State’s campus in the mid 1900s.  In 1956 the Board of Education donated the Linsell House to the university and it became the office for the School of Business, and later the Biology Department.  In 1987 the house was restored and turned into the Dean’s Office for the College of Fine Performing and Communication Arts.  The thirteen-room house is now located at 5104 Gullen Mall, in the middle of the Wayne State campus. Tapan K.
