  • Rethinking ethical reflexivity and oversight in health research through an ecosystem approach

    Open AccessKatharine Wright, Joseph Ali et al.ARTICLEResearch Ethics2026

    As the scope of morally relevant considerations widens and new challenges emerge at the frontiers of health innovation, there are questions about the appropriate role and remit for research ethics review, within the broader context of the whole health research ecosystem. Drawing on discussion at a satellite meeting at the 2022 Global Forum on Bioethics in Research in Cape Town, we argue that the ethical conduct of research is the responsibility o…

  • Personhood

    Open AccessNancy S Jecker, Caesar A AtuireARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2025

    African understandings of personhood are complex, with different accounts emphasizing distinct aspects of what it means to be a person. Some accounts stress excellence of character and performing well in social roles and relationships, while others focus on innate moral qualities of individuals independent of their conduct and character. This paper sheds new light on these twin aspects of personhood. It proposes a way to navigate these dual featu…

  • Digital tools for youth health promotion

    Open AccessAgata Ferretti, Kwame Adjei et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2024

    Although digital health promotion (DHP) technologies for young people are increasingly available in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), there has been insufficient research investigating whether existing ethical and policy frameworks are adequate to address the challenges and promote the technological opportunities in these settings. In an effort to fill this gap and as part of a larger research project, in November 2022, we conducted a wor…

  • AI and the falling sky

    Open AccessNancy S Jecker, Caesar A Atuire et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2024

    This paper argues that the headline-grabbing nature of existential risk (X-Risk) diverts attention away from immediate artificial intelligence (AI) threats, including fairly disseminating AI risks and benefits and justly transitioning towards AI-centred societies. Section I introduces a working definition of X-Risk, considers its likelihood and explores possible subtexts. It highlights conflicts of interest that arise when tech luminaries lead et…

  • Pandemic preparedness and response

    Open AccessAbha Saxena, Brook K Baker et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Nationalism has trumped solidarity, resulting in unnecessary loss of life and inequitable access to vaccines and therapeutics. Existing intellectual property (IP) regimens, trade secrets and data rights, under which pharmaceutical firms operate, have also posed obstacles to increasing manufacturing capacity, and ensuring adequate supply, affordable pricing, and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines and other health products in low-income and midd…

  • Towards a new model of global health justice

    Open AccessNancy S Jecker, Caesar A Atuire et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2023

    This paper questions an exclusively state-centred framing of global health justice and proposes a multilateral alternative. Using the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to illustrate, we bring to light a broad range of global actors up and down the chain of vaccine development who contribute to global vaccine inequities. Section 1 (Background) presents an overview of moments in which diverse global actors, each with their own priorities and aims, …

  • Covid-19 vaccine trials with children

    Open AccessCaesar A Atuire, Sofia P Salas et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    As healthcare authorities around the world strive to get as many citizens as possible vaccinated against the SAR-CoV-2 virus, many countries have begun including children in the population groups to be vaccinated. Properly designed clinical trials involving children are important to ensure safety, efficacy, and dosage of therapies in (developing) children. Within the complex health, social, and political scenario of the ongoing pandemic, ethics c…

  • Global sharing of Covid‐19 therapies during a “New Normal”

    Open AccessNancy S Jecker, Caesar A AtuireARTICLEBioethics2022

    This paper argues for global sharing of COVID‐19 treatments during the COVID‐19 pandemic and beyond based on principles of global solidarity. It starts by distinguishing two types of COVID‐19 treatments and models sharing strategies for each in small‐group scenarios, contrasting groups that are solidaristic with those composed of self‐interest maximizers to show the appeal of solidaristic reasoning. It then extends the analysis, arguing that a si…

  • Solidarity, Afro-communitarianism, and Covid-19 vaccination

    Open AccessCornelius Ewuoso, Tom Obengo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2022

    This paper appeals to the Afro-communitarian conceptions of solidarity to think critically about the duty (if any and in what ways) to vaccinate. Barbara Prainsack and Alena Buyx [1] describe solidarity as “enacted commitment to carry the costs (financial, social, emotional, and other contributions) of assisting others with whom a person or persons recognise similarity [...]

  • Bioethics in Africa

    Open AccessNancy S Jecker, Caesar A AtuireARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2022

    Across sub‐Saharan Africa, bioethics is an emerging field of scholarly inquiry, informed by contextual features distinct to the region. A cultural mix comprised of Euro‐American influences, indigenous traditions, Christian faiths and Muslim communities, a bioethics for the sub‐Saharan region must be responsive to this milieu. This paper asks, what values and methods can best promote the practice of bioethics in Africa? We set forth a strategy tha…

  • African perspectives of moral status

    Open AccessCaesar A AtuireARTICLEMedical Humanities2022Referencias: 3

    This paper offers an African perspective on moral status grounded on an understanding of personhood. These concepts are key to understanding the differences in emphasis and the values at play when global ethical issues are analysed within the African context. Drawing from African philosophical reflections on the descriptive and normative concepts of personhood, I propose a dual notion of subject and object moral status. I explain how object moral…

  • Just allocation of Covid-19 vaccines

    Open AccessAnders Herlitz, Zohar Lederman et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Authorized COVID-19 vaccines must be distributed fairly. Several proposals have emerged offering guidelines for how to do this. However, insofar as the aim is to have the greatest health impact, these proposals fall short. We offer three suggestions to strengthen them The most advanced attempt at coordinating vaccine distribution is the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) facility, a collaboration that brings together governments, companies, …

  • What’s yours is ours

    Open AccessNancy S Jecker, Caesar A AtuireARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2021

    This paper gives an ethical argument for temporarily waiving intellectual property (IP) protections for COVID-19 vaccines. It examines two proposals under discussion at the World Trade Organization (WTO): the India/South Africa proposal and the WTO Director General proposal. Section I explains the background leading up to the WTO debate. Section II rebuts ethical arguments for retaining current IP protections, which appeal to benefiting society b…

  • Out of Africa

    Open AccessNancy S Jecker, Nancy Jecker et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2021

    This article sets forth a solidaristic approach to global distribution of vaccines against the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus. Our approach draws inspiration from African ethics and from the characterization of the Covid‐19 crisis as a syndemic, a convergence of biosocial forces that interact with one another to produce and exacerbate clinical disease and prognosis. The first section elaborates the twin ideas of syndemic and solidarity. The second section argu…

  • The hermeneutics of recovery

    Open AccessChao Kong, Megan M Campbell et al.ARTICLETranscultural Psychiatry2021Citada por: 2Referencias: 7

    The widespread use of faith-based and traditional healing for mental disorders within African contexts is well known. However, normative responses tend to fall within two camps: on one hand, those oriented towards the biomedical model of psychiatry stress the abuses and superstition of such healing, whilst critics adopting a more ‘local’ perspective have fundamentally challenged the universalist claims of biomedical diagnostic categories and psyc…

  • Covid Cure (1)

    Caesar A Atuire, Grace Addison et al.ARTICLEJournal of African Cultural Studies2021Citada por: 3Referencias: 3

    Investigative journalists sometimes resort to the use of fake identities in order to reveal fakes and malpractice, a phenomenon that can be described as revelatory fakery. Acclaimed investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw, in collaboration with BBC Africa Eye, employs revelatory fakery to expose and prosecute wrongdoers in Ghana. From an ethical viewpoint, Anas’s revelatory fakery, a second order fakery, becomes a seedbed for an exponential level…
