Are menstrual periods an environmental liability? Period poverty and eco‐feminist bioethics
Period poverty has led to many initiatives across the world. In some places, period (or menstrual hygiene management [MHM]) products are free and readily found in restaurants, universities and pubs. However, conversations on mensuration management have also led to discussions on sustainability. One ad in a bathroom states, ‘why not try swapping (from tampons or pads) to a...carbon lowering menstrual cup?’ This begs the question not only how can m…
Who Carries the Responsibility for Health Care Carbon Reduction
Policy‐makers, doctors, organizations, and academics who are persuaded that health care decarbonization is an ethical mandate are grappling with ethical and effective implementation of measures to support this goal. Health care carbon‐mitigation strategies (both proposed and potential) at individual, regional (city, state, or council), national, and international levels have already been analyzed to different degrees; however, a comparative analy…
Patients' Attitudes Towards Integrating Environmental Sustainability Into Healthcare Decision‐Making
INTRODUCTION: The ethical obligation to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare systems prompts an exploration of if and when environmental concerns should be integrated into clinical decision-making. In this study, we aimed to elucidate patients' attitudes regarding the provision of environmental information in healthcare decision-making and to identify preferred approaches for integrating these considerations into patient-provider consult…
NHS Policy on HPV Vaccines Is Failing Females Aged 26–45
In 2006, a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine targeting the four most lethal strands was licensed. In the United Kingdom, females ages 12–13 were the first to be offered the vaccine in 2012. By 2018, the HPV vaccine was extended to males ages 12–13, and then “high-risk” individuals, that is, gay males and “men who have sex with men” (MSM) and, later, transmen and transwomen. Vaccination programs in the United Kingdom are limited; although everyon…
The ethics of climate change and health-care delivery
A focus group study of ethical issues during climate-informed health decision-making
Harmonising green informed consent with autonomous clinical decision-making
Resnik and Pugh recently explored the ethical implications of routinely integrating environmental concerns into clinical decision-making. While we share their concern for the holistic well-being of patients, our response offers a different clinical and bioethical stance on green informed consent and patient autonomy. Contrary to the authors’ lack of data to support their concerns about provider and patient willingness to engage in climate-related…
Environmental sustainability and the paradox of prevention
The carbon emissions of global healthcare activities make up 4%–5% of total world emissions, with the majority coming from industrialised countries. The solution to healthcare carbon reduction in these countries, ostensibly, would be preventive healthcare, which is less resource intensive than corrective healthcare in itself and, as a double benefit, reduces carbon by preventing diseases which may require higher healthcare carbon to treat. This l…
“Green informed consent” in the classroom, clinic, and consultation room
The carbon emissions of global health care activities make up 4–5% of total world emissions, placing it on par with the food sector. Carbon emissions are particularly relevant for health care because of climate change health hazards. Doctors and health care professionals must connect their health care delivery with carbon emissions and minimize resource use when possible as a part of their obligation to do no harm. Given that reducing carbon is a…
Reimagining research ethics to include environmental sustainability
In this paper we argue the need to reimagine research ethics frameworks to include notions of environmental sustainability. While there have long been calls for health care ethics frameworks and decision-making to include aspects of sustainability, less attention has focused on how research ethics frameworks could address this. To do this, we first describe the traditional approach to research ethics, which often relies on individualised notions …
Environmental ethics beyond conferences
Rieke van der Graaf, Karin Jongsma, Martine de Vries, Suzanne van de Vathorst, and Ineke Bolt have done well to voice ethical concerns over the decision of the IAB to host the next WCB in Qatar. Conferences should be more sustainable. Yet, attention to the carbon impact of conferences—and, perhaps, any country that a person might travel to for business or pleasure—are only one small part of environmentally responsible citizenship, especially for …
Environmentally sustainable development and use of artificial intelligence in health care
Artificial intelligence (AI) can transform health care by delivering medical services to underserved areas, while also filling gaps in health care provider availability. However, AI may also lead to patient harm due to fatal glitches in robotic surgery, bias in diagnosis, or dangerous recommendations. Despite concerns ethicists have identified in the use of AI in health care, the most significant consideration ought not be vulnerabilities in the …
Carbon Emissions from Overuse of U.S. Health Care
The United States health care industry is the second largest in the world, expending an estimated 479 million metric tons (MMT) of carbon dioxide per year, nearly 8 percent of the country's total emissions. The importance of carbon reduction in health care is slowly being accepted. However, efforts to “green” health care are incomplete since they generally focus on buildings and structures. Yet hospital care and clinical service sectors contribut…
Environmental sustainability and the carbon emissions of pharmaceuticals
The US healthcare industry emits an estimated 479 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year; nearly 8% of the country’s total emissions. When assessed by sector, hospital care, clinical services, medical structures, and pharmaceuticals are the top emitters. For 15 years, research has been dedicated to the medical structures and equipment that contribute to carbon emissions. More recently, hospital care and clinical services have been examined. H…
Whose interests are advanced by LGBT bioethics
Do not hinder them
Developmental disabilities in children can be challenging to the family who desires a spiritual home for their family. Parents may hesitate to bring a special needs child to a church service, uncertain of the outcome. While public schools have amazing support for the differently abled, the Church very rarely has assistance in place for the families of handicapped individuals, let alone theology for the parents of mentally disabled children. This …
Global Health Care Justice, Delivery Doctors and Assisted Reproduction
This article will examine the Catholic concept of global justice within a health care framework as it relates to women's needs for delivery doctors in the developing world and women's demands for assisted reproduction in the developed world. I will first discuss justice as a theory, situating it within Catholic social teachings. The Catholic perspective on global justice in health care demands that everyone have access to basic needs before elect…
A Brief History of Environmental Bioethics
As a response to anthropogenic—that is, human-caused—climate change, nearly every sector of public and private life has been scrutinized by ecologists. Automobile pollution, greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, aerosol cans, and individual reproduction have all been topics of environmental policy and practice in the United States since the 1960s [1]. Nearly 30 years ago medicine's attention was first brought to the effects of ecological matte…
The Augustinian Legacy of the Procreative Marriage
Augustine’s legacy, particularly his view of marriage as being primarily procreative and the sin of mutually desired non-procreative sex, has had a lasting impact on sexual theology and ethics in the Catholic Church. Yet indulging in the Augustinian legacy without reflection and regarding children as the end goal of marriage has led to the unchallenged assumption that children are needed in every marriage. I will examine the problematic concept o…
Green” Reproduction, Resource Conservation, and Ecological Responsibility
This paper will draw on Catholic resources to examine the impact of population and consumption vis-à-vis reproduction in the developed world as it relates to theological/ moral obligations to the earth. By examining both natural and artificial means of procreation, an assessment of “green” reproduction can be made. I will explore contraception as an option for limiting natural procreation, and the avoidance of assisted reproductive technologies […
Voluntary Sterilization for Childfree Women
Approximately 47 percent of women ages fifteen to forty‐four are currently without children, and slightly more than 20 percent of white women in America will never bear children, the highest percentage in modern history. Many fertile women who are childless are voluntarily so. Although any competent person twenty‐one years or older is legally eligible for voluntary sterilization, many doctors refuse to sterilize childfree women. This essay explor…
