SELBY, Justice,
concurring and dissent ing.
I concur in result with Justice Sullivan. I would observe, however, that we are constrained by the particular manner in which the case is presented, including the framing of the certified questions.1 As the majority opinion mentions, and as Chief Justice Shepard observes in another opinion handed down today, "[Though our consideration of certified questions promotes the accurate application of state law in federal courts, we also acknowledge the shortcomings of such proceedings." Citizens Nat'l Bank of Evansville v. Foster, 668 N.E.2d 1236 (Ind.1996).

. The questions include an inquiry about temporary problems of physical health but no parallel inquiry for the certified question concerning psychological harm.
