A qualitative study of true self judgments, epistemic access, and medical decision-making
BACKGROUND: (2024) found that US participants were more likely to follow a medical treatment preference-expressed after substantial cognitive decline-of a third person rather than their own future self. This correlated with a greater tendency to see the third person as still their true self. We hypothesised that the greater epistemic access one has to one's own true self as opposed to others might drive this difference. METHODS: 's study were cod…
Manipulating embryogenesis and testing for potential
Stem cell-based human embryo models (SCBEMs), generated in vitro from stem cells, currently exist outside the scope of regulatory frameworks that govern in vitro embryo research in most jurisdictions. A widely discussed proposal suggests using a ‘Turing test’ framework, whereby regulatory oversight is triggered if an SCBEM is found to be ‘equivalent’ to a human embryo. In this paper, we argue that such a proposal faces two major complications. Fi…
Reconceptualizing the right to withdraw in stem cell research
This paper seeks to address the challenges with applying a right to withdraw to pluripotent stem cell (PSC) research. PSC lines are unique in that they can be expanded indefinitely, disseminated globally, transformed into multiple derivatives, and employed as therapeutic products, rendering withdrawal not only logistically unfeasible, but also a substantive risk to research stability. Following an analysis of whether the classical right to withdr…
État présent
This état présent examines the emergence and potential of the blue humanities as a framework for rethinking relations between culture, language, and territory across French and francophone contexts. In light of recent geopolitical shifts that challenge the coherence of la francophonie , the article argues that water — both material and conceptual — offers a productive paradigm for decentring Eurocentric, land-based models of culture and articulat…
Neural Organoids
Neural organoids derived from pluripotent stem cells have sparked ethical debate because, it is claimed, they could be sentient, or could develop sentience. We critically assess three routes for defending such a possibility: analogy with known sentient organisms, inference from neural function using leading theories of consciousness, and foundational philosophical commitments. Current cortical organoids lack nociceptors, sensory integration, and …
A Cross-Sectional Study Conducted in the USA Examining Associations Between Religious Engagement and Inpatient Hospital Experience and 30-Day Readmission
Associations between the Duke University Religion Index (DUREL) and patients’ perceptions of care, requesting to see a chaplain, and 30-day readmissions were examined in this cross-sectional study. Participants were recruited from an inpatient setting in Memphis, TN and asked the DUREL, three patient experience questions, and if they would like to see a chaplain. The electronic medical record was monitored for readmissions within 30 days of disch…
Towards a concept of embodied autonomy
“Bodily autonomy” has received significant attention in bioethics, medical ethics, and medical law in terms of the general inviolability of a patient’s bodily sovereignty and the rights of patients to make choices (e.g., reproductive choices) that concern their own body. However, the role of the body in terms of how it can or does contribute to a patient’s capacity for, or exercises of their autonomy in clinical decision-making situations has not…
Equipoise, standard of care and consent
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, large-scale research and pharmaceutical regulatory processes have proceeded at a dramatically increased pace with new and effective, evidence-based COVID-19 interventions rapidly making their way into the clinic. However, the swift generation of high-quality evidence and the efficient processing of regulatory authorisation have given rise to more specific and complex versions of well-known research ethics iss…
What should recognition entail? Responding to the reification of autonomy and vulnerability in medical research
Smajdor argues that “recognition” is the solution to the “reifying attitude” that results from “the urge to protect ‘vulnerable’ people through exclusion from research”. Drawing on theories of reification, we argue that it is the concepts of autonomy and vulnerability themselves that have been reified, resulting in the impoverishment of approaches to autonomy at law and in research ethics. Overcoming such reification demands a deeper consideratio…
Online political communication about the Tokyo Olympics
This article investigates how Japanese politicians and their followers tweeted about the Tokyo Olympics between 1 January 2020 and 24 September 2021. Using a comprehensive dataset of Japanese politicians’ tweets and followers, plus text (sentiment) and network analysis, it finds that politicians from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) stayed relatively quiet about the Games but did tweet positively about the Games after they started. In co…
Patient autonomy, clinical decision making, and the Phenomenological reduction
Phenomenology gives rise to certain ontological considerations that have far-reaching implications for standard conceptions of patient autonomy in medical ethics, and, as a result, the obligations of and to patients in clinical decision-making contexts. One such consideration is the phenomenological reduction in classical phenomenology, a core feature of which is the characterisation of our primary experiences as immediately and inherently meanin…

Organoid biobanking, autonomy and the limits of consent
In the debates regarding the ethics of human organoid biobanking, the locus of donor autonomy has been identified in processes of consent. The problem is that, by focusing on consent, biobanking processes preclude adequate engagement with donor autonomy because they are unable to adequately recognize or respond to factors that determine authentic choice. This is particularly problematic in biobanking contexts associated with organoid research or …

Experimental philosophical bioethics and normative inference
This paper explores an emerging sub-field of both empirical bioethics and experimental philosophy, which has been called “experimental philosophical bioethics” (bioxphi). As an empirical discipline, bioxphi adopts the methods of experimental moral psychology and cognitive science; it does so to make sense of the eliciting factors and underlying cognitive processes that shape people’s moral judgments, particularly about real-world matters of bioet…
Capturing and promoting the autonomy of capacitous vulnerable adults
According to the High Court in England and Wales, the primary purpose of legal interventions into the lives of vulnerable adults with mental capacity should be to allow the individuals concerned to regain their autonomy of decision-making. However, recent cases of clinical decision-making involving capacitous vulnerable adults have shown that, when it comes to medical law, medical ethics and clinical practice, vulnerability is typically conceived…
Bioethics met its Covid‐19 Waterloo
The late Robert Veatch, one of the United States’ founders of bioethics, never tired of reminding us that the paradigm-shifting contribution that bioethics made to patient care was to liberate patients out of the hands of doctors, who were traditionally seen to know best, even when they decidedly did not know best. It seems to us that with the advent of COVID-19, health policy has come full-circle on this. COVID-19 gave rise to a large number of …
Autonomy and the limits of cognitive enhancement
In the debates regarding the ethics of human enhancement, proponents have found it difficult to refute the concern, voiced by certain bioconservatives, that cognitive enhancement violates the autonomy of the enhanced. However, G. Owen Schaefer, Guy Kahane and Julian Savulescu have attempted not only to avoid autonomy‐based bioconservative objections, but to argue that cognition‐enhancing biomedical interventions can actually enhance autonomy. In …
How Transdisciplinary is Design? An Analysis Using Citation Networks
This article reveals how citation networks can be used to understand and demonstrate the ways design serves to integrate other bodies of knowledge. Analysis focused on two corpuses of peer-reviewed journal articles, representing two bodies of knowledge. The first corpus consisted of 277 articles with the words “Design Thinking” in title. The second corpus contained 296 articles with the words “Network Science” in the title. Paper citation and doc…
The Medium-Term Impact of Covid-19 Lockdown on Referrals to Secondary Care Mental Health Services
To date, there is a paucity of information regarding the effect of COVID-19 or lockdown on mental disorders. We aimed to quantify the medium-term impact of lockdown on referrals to secondary care mental health clinical services. We conducted a controlled interrupted time series study using data from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT), UK (catchment population ~0.86 million). The UK lockdown resulted in an instantaneous dr…
Mid‐Holocene environmental change and human occupation at Sai Island, Northern Sudan
Holocene environmental change in the northern and central Nile Valley was controlled primarily by shifts in the Intertropical Convergence Zone over time, leading to changes in aridity and water availability for early occupants of the region. Although local environmental changes may help to motivate societal changes such as those in settlement patterns or technological productions, evidence from pedogenic carbonates at Sai Island, in northern Suda…

Hegel and the Ethics of Brandom’s Metaphysics
In order to develop his pragmatist and inferentialist framework, Robert Brandom appropriates, reconstructs and revises key themes in German Idealism such as the self-legislation of norms, the social institution of concepts and facts, a norm-oriented account of being and the critique of representationalist accounts of meaning and truth. However, these themes have an essential ethical dimension, one that Brandom has not explicitly acknowledged. For…

The Interruption of Income Convergence and Income Growth in Large Cities in the 1980s
Recent studies have documented the divergence of per capita personal income among regions of the US in the 1980s following many decades of income convergence. This paper establishes the same pattern of divergence for median family income in the 1980s and argues that regional specialisation in producer services contributed to upward divergence of regions with above average income. Because producer services are concentrated in cities, the growth of…
Election posters in Japan
This paper offers a preliminary look at an important medium of political communication in Japan, namely election posters fixed to official poster-boards. We analyze two sets of post-election surveys, present the legal provisions regulating posters and carry out a descriptive and comparative analysis of the posters themselves. We identify significant differences between parties in the content and design of their candidates' posters. However, poste…

Filling in the Blanks
Leïla Sebbar's La Seine était rouge (1999) traces the attempts of three characters to uncover the suppression of Algerian demonstrators by the Parisian police on 17 October 1961, an event which has hitherto been concealed from two of the three characters by their families. This transmission of silence reflects the wider reluctance to remember the Algerian War on the part of the French state, which only officially acknowledged the war in 1999. Tho…
