Justainability
Sustainability, properly understood, is an existential moral ideal. The United Nations, however, defines it in terms of 17 indivisible sustainable development goals. This definition changes the core idea of the concept. It turns sustainability from a moral ideal into a set of economy-based political aspirations. The European Union’s bioeconomy strategy demonstrates the shift aptly and reveals its main problem. When economy is prioritized, social …
Whither Sentience
This special issue is devoted to the question of sentience and its ethical implications. Sparked by debates in contemporary science and bioethics, the theme addresses one of the most fundamental and contested concepts in moral philosophy: what it means to be sentient, why it matters, and how our understanding of it should guide practices, policies, and ethical reasoning. While the idea of sentience has long been central to questions of moral stan…
Values of Life
This special section brings together international scholars celebrating the 40 th anniversary of John Harris’ book, The Value of Life: An Introduction to Medical Ethics (1985), and John Harris and his contributions to the field of bioethics more generally
Just Transition to Ethical Sustainability
Ethical sustainability would require that social and ecological matters are taken as seriously as economic considerations in political and legislative decision making. Currently they are not, although international policy makers are well aware of the requirement. We examine philosophically the possibility of making a shift transition from the current situation to ethical sustainability. Our main tools in the task are a thought experiment and the …

Introduction
Physicians Controlling Women’s Reproductive Choices
This paper provides an overview of the development and the sociopolitical background of legislation pertaining to abortion in Finland from the nineteenth century to the current day. The first Abortion Act came to force in 1950. Before that, abortions were handled under criminal law. The 1950 law was restrictive and allowed abortions in very limited circumstances only. Its main aim was to reduce the number of abortions and especially illegal abort…
Let the Chips Fall! Public Nudging Arrangements, Coercion, and the Role of Independent Shopkeepers
Nudging, according to its inventors and defenders, is supposed to provide a non-coercive way of changing human behavior for the better-a freedom-respecting form of "libertarian paternalism." Its original point was to complement coercive modes of influence without any need of justification in liberal frameworks. This article shows, using the example of food-product placement in grocery stores, how this image is deceptive. Although nudging practice…
Covid-19 Pandemic and the Plight of the Elderly
Part of the rationale behind public health measures is protecting the vulnerable. One of the groups most vulnerable to COVID-19 are the elderly and, consequently, many countries adopted public health measures that aimed to keep the elderly safe. The effectiveness and the consequences of those measures, however, leaves a lot to be desired. In my article, I will look at the steps that the Nordic countries took to protect their elderly and assess th…
Common and Uncommon Moralities in Bioethics
The role, and indeed the very existence, of common morality has been a contested matter
Decisionmaking and Leadership in Crises and Beyond
Bioethics is about decisionmaking. It is also about leadership in the making and implementing of those decisions, as we have seen during the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. 1 , 2 This special section presents a collection of views on how we should proceed in the current crisis and beyond
Commentary
In her thorough and thoughtful contribution to the Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics titled “Medical Ethics: Common or Uncommon Morality” Rosamond Rhodes argues that contrary to American mainstream bioethics, medical ethics is not, and should not be, based on common morality, but rather, that the medical profession requires its own distinctive morality. 1 She goes on to list sixteen duties that, according to her, form the core of medical e…
Introduction
Justice, both in theory and in practice, is a crucial matter in global ethics. On 29 August 2014, a research symposium – ‘Global Ethics and Justice’ – was held at the Aalto University School of Bus
Neural Grafting
It is often suggested that advances in neurosciences will force us to re-think our customary notions of personal identity and personality. In this paper, we study a number of philosophical positions on these notions, especially in connection with mentally degenerative illnesses and neural grafting. We conclude that while the possible future treatments are likely to change the personalities and personal identities of patients, these changes will …
Human Dignity, Bioethics, and Human Rights
The authors analyse and assess the Universal Draft Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights published by UNESCO. They argue that the Draft has two main weaknesses. It unnecessarily confines the scope of bioethics to life sciences and their practical applications. And it fails to spell out the intended role of human dignity in international ethical regulation
Is Communitarian Thinking Altruistic
The aim of this paper is to expose the problematic nature of claims concerning the altruistic or egoistic foundations of popular theories of political philosophy. Altruism and egoism are complex psychological and ethical concepts, which cannot be straightforwardly employed to defend or to attack equally complex doctrines like communitarianism and liberalism
