    I have been following this thread closely as our son has asked me to
    design medical alert jewelry for him. 

    As a nurse I particularly understand the need for immediate
    recognition of the emblem and as a mother . . . well, I think you'll
    understand my caution. 

    After addressing that most important issue, my next concern is the
    legality of my use of the "star of life" symbol. 

    I emailed the National Association of State EMS Directors and asked
    that they direct me to the proper authority regarding use of the
    emblem.  I acknowledge that their reply (see below) should not be
    considered a legal opinion. 

    Since I do not intend to sell the jewelry in question, I believe
    that my use is permissible.  Perhaps James White could weigh in? I got
    this response to my NASEMSD Enquiry: 

          Thank you for your email. 

          I am being told that there is no copy right on the star of
          life emblem. Therefore, yes you can use it on custom medical
          alert jewelry. 

          If we can be of further assistance please let us know. 

          Best regards.
