Ethical analysis examining the prioritisation of living donor transplantation in times of healthcare rationing
The transplant community has faced unprecedented challenges balancing risks of performing living donor transplants during the COVID-19 pandemic with harms of temporarily suspending these procedures. Decisions regarding postponement of living donation stem from its designation as an elective procedure, this despite that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services categorise transplant procedures as tier 3b (high medical urgency—do not postpone)…
How Well Do Religious Exemptions Apply to Mandates for Covid-19 Vaccines
In the United States, religious exemptions to health-driven mandates enjoy, and should enjoy, protected status in medical ethics and healthcare law. Religious exemptions are defined as seriously professed exceptions to state or federal laws, which appeal to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, allowing workers to request an exception to a job requirement, including a health-protective mandate, if it "conflicts with their sincerely held reli…
Looking at the Impact of Covid-19 on Religious Practice and the Impact of Religious Practice on Covid-19
As this collection of essays on the manner in which religion and public health policy have impacted one another in the COVID-19 era goes to press, both the United States' Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the United Nations' World Health Organization (WHO) have recently declared the end to the pandemic (CDC 2023b; UN 2023b; Williams 2023; Siddiqui et al
The Virtue of Mortality
As technology's frontiers advance, we acquire the capacity to alleviate the aspects of suffering and sorrow that are caused by our genetic programming, while also inviting unwelcome side consequences. CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), a bacterial defense system with genome editing capabilities, is now being implemented to startling results. It is being used to correct for harmful mutations by permanently altering…
Seeking justice rooted in truth, reconciliation and forgiveness
This paper presents an overview of the philosophy and implementation of restorative justice practices, the challenges and accomplishments of which we examine across the arc of the twentieth and emerging twenty-first century. Restorative justice, we argue, is both counterintuitive and pragmatic in its application. We examine truth and reconciliation hearings, intentional peace communities, and other paragons of the restorative justice model from a…
Is There, If Not Virtue, Any Moral Value to Be Found in Payback
Can payback, punitive action fueled by the desire to hurt an offending aggressor, ever be justified? In Anger and Forgiveness, Martha Nussbaum emphatically answers "no", arguing that payback and the anger on which it is based, even following severe loss, distracts one from pursuing the betterment and loving nature one should be striving to cultivate instead. Timothy Jackson admires Nussbaum's appreciation for such a beautiful spiritual ideal but …
Priorities in Recovering From a Lost Generation of Firearms Research
An editorial is presented which addresses firearms research in America as of 2018, and it mentions gun-related violence in the U.S., media coverage of mass shootings, and school shootings at places such as Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida. Lobbyists for the firearms industry are examined, along with support for gun safety reform. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and population health rese…
