  • Allocation of Opportunities to Participate in Clinical Trials during the Covid‐19 Pandemic and Other Public Health Emergencies

    Open AccessKayte Spector‐Bagdady, Holly Fernandez Lynch et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2022

    Covid‐19 raised many novel ethical issues including regarding the allocation of opportunities to participate in clinical trials during a public health emergency. In this article, we explore how hospitals that have a scarcity of trial opportunities, either overall or in a specific trial, can equitably allocate those opportunities in the context of an urgent medical need with limited therapeutic interventions. We assess the three main approaches to…

  • Protecting the Vulnerable and Including the Under-Represented

    Open AccessLuke Gelinas, David H Strauss et al.ARTICLEJournal of Empirical Research on…2022Cited by: 3References: 2

    Since their inception, Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) have been charged with protecting the vulnerable in research. More recently, attention has turned to whether IRBs also have a role to play in ensuring representative study samples and promoting the inclusion of historically under-represented groups. These two aims-protecting the vulnerable and including the under-represented-can pull in different directions, given the potential for overlap…

  • On measuring attitudes about payment for research

    Luke GelinasARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2020

    Significant attention has been given both to the ethics of Controlled Human Infection Model (CHIM) research and the ethics of payment for research participation. However, comparatively little attention has been given to the ethics of paying for participation specifically in CHIM research. Grimwade et al (‘the authors’) should be commended for thoughtfully addressing this topic and especially for the empirical data collection informing their work,…

  • Using Social Media as a Research Recruitment Tool

    Luke Gelinas, Robin Pierce et al.ARTICLEThe American Journal of Bioethics2017

    The use of social media as a recruitment tool for research with humans is increasing, and likely to continue to grow. Despite this, to date there has been no specific regulatory guidance and there has been little in the bioethics literature to guide investigators and institutional review boards (IRBs) faced with navigating the ethical issues such use raises. We begin to fill this gap by first defending a nonexceptionalist methodology for assessin…

  • When and Why Is Research without Consent Permissible

    Open AccessLuke Gelinas, Alan Wertheimer et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2016

    The view that research with competent adults requires valid consent to be ethical perhaps finds its clearest expression in the Nuremberg Code, whose famous first principle asserts that “the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.” In a similar vein, the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states that “no one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation…

  • God, the Best, and Evil - Bruce Langtry

    Klaas J Kraay, Klaas Kraay et al.ARTICLEThe Philosophical Quarterly2010

    Bruce Langtry has written a rigorous book that makes important contributions primarily to two debates in contemporary philosophy of religion, over whether the hypothesis of ‘no best world’ poses a problem for theists, and the more traditional problem(s) of evil. In addition, the book has interesting and original things to say about the relationship between possible worlds and value, the correct understanding of the divine attributes, and the ques…

  • The Problem of Natural Evil II

    Open AccessLuke GelinasARTICLEPhilosophy Compass2009Cited by: 2References: 11

    I consider two views that combine different elements of general theistic replies to natural evil, those of Peter van Inwagen and William Hasker. I end with a Hasker-style defense - one that, unlike Hasker's, denies the existence of pointless natural evils - and some brief observations on the direction of future debate

  • The Problem of Natural Evil I

    Open AccessLuke GelinasARTICLEPhilosophy Compass2009Cited by: 1References: 90

    I examine different strategies involved in stating anti-theistic arguments from natural evil, and consider some theistic replies. There are, traditionally, two main types of arguments from natural evil: those that purport to deduce a contradiction between the existence of natural evil and the existence of God, and those that claim that the existence of certain types or quantities of natural evil significantly lowers the probability that theism is…

  • The Stoic Argument Ex Gradibus Entium

    Luke GelinasARTICLEPhronesis2006

    In this paper I offer an interpretation of the Stoic argumentum ex gradibus entium as it appears in Book II of Cicero's De Natura Deorum. In addition to displaying certain similarities to later formulations of the so-called "ontological argument," particularly Anselm's, I argue that the argument ex gradibus entium was a versatile feature of Stoic philosophical theology, capable of employment in relation to two distinct topics: the existence of go…
